Are you able to focus through the eyepiece on the camera if you ue this as a shoulder support? I don't use the LCD panel when photographing...

I find it difficult to use the eyepiece with the shoulder support. I only use it for video.

A rig like this is mostly intended for filming purposes. Having to hold it on your shoulder, your hands would not be free to release shutter etc.

Absolutely. This is how I use it although with different primes - 2.0 and 1.2. Regardless, you'll find yourself seeing through a much nicer viewfinder which I find useful even if I'm auto focusing or not. Here's how I see it: this focusing screen should have come standard with my body. It's that good.

The image should not be blurry. Have you checked to make sure there is nothing on the viewfinder area...there is a red dial that can change the focus but i wouldn't think it would be blurry even if that was off slightly.

I am very impressed with the focusing mechanism. It feels very quality and easy to fine tune to get a beautifully focused image to the most magnification the scope or sky conditions allow on any given night. It simply has not let me down in the least. Now can it be replaced or changed out? I am not sure 100% but doubt it. It is a knob the comes out the back of the telescope and isn't connected directly to the eyepiece like a crayford focuser in which you could just change it out. It seems to me to be a special focuser mechanism for this particular telescope. For me it hasn't at all been a thought in wanting to change it. You'd benefit more from buying a nicer diagonal or eyepieces. I doubt you will be disappointed with the focuser. I am going to try and attach a picture of the back of the telescope so you can see what I am trying to describe.

Yes! I works well but the magnification is different from the standard eyepiece.

No, yo can´t. Suppose If the eyepeace will let you do this, you won´t be able to operate normally the controls of your DSLR that are at your right.

Thank you for your interest. Dobsonian reflectors are not suitable for astrophotography. This optical tube is optimized for visual use and will not reach focus with a DSLR attached. One can do afocal photography only with this model which is essentially the same as holding the camera (with lens) up to the eyepiece. There are accessories available to facilitate this method that basically clamp the camera to the eyepiece.

On all of the canons I have owned it works this way:There should be a rubber piece around the eyepiece. It usually slips off by pushing it up. Take that piece off and slip this lens in its place. You won't need the rubber piece anymore.

With direct intense sunlight coming over your shoulder there is of course reflection on the screen but with slight movement of the camera to change the angle I have always found it very easy to view the intended scene. I have used it for shots with sun reflecting over the ocean with no problem.

I use a monopod. It carries the weight of the binoculars, allowing you to focus while only having to hold the horizontal position steady. I prefer this solution to the tripod.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way torig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking fromthe rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If youbracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it'snot hi-tech but the method works.

I have a T3i so I can't address the fit issues. Any decrease in image size through the eyepiece is minimal from my experience. It has been very useful for me.

I cant say yes or no, it all depends on the direction the sun is shining at you, directly behind me YES and it was hard to see my canon PowerShot screen too along with any LCD screen like my iphone.... This is a great camera, beautiful shots and I love the Optical ZOOM on it. The only drawback I have to add is that the LCD screen does not flip over completely for total protection, it only tilts for better veiwing so it is a must that you buy a screen protector.

I'm not sure as I've never tried that but it does have a separate eyepiece, so there could well be some sort of digital imaging device that would fit in there instead of a glass lens. Good luck!

Hi personally it did not work for me. The camera becomes set back so far as a result of the mounting that focussing is a problem. For me other than macro work it was not suitable and certainly not as all round useful as I understood it to be.I returned mine for a refund

I have found there is really no proper way in how to focus the eyepieces. You just have to keep adjusting them, mess around with it until they are adjusted to your satisfaction. I wish I could help your more, but thats really all I can say.

Hello Patty, Honestly I dont know. It might have to do with the total focal lenght, I ran into a problem with attaching a reducer then the diagonal then the bifocal then the eyepiece, and i could not focus properly. You best bet is to call Celestron on Monday, sorry I could not help more, Jim
