Will this work for a Canon 70D, and has anyone used it for taking astrophotography yet?

Thank you for your inquiry. In regards to your question, yes, this is compatible with the Canon EOS 70D. If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact us directly at 800-991-3350.

Not a definitive answer, but my impression is that the motors in the drive may not be powerful enough for a heavy camera. The additional weight, especially if it's unbalanced for such a budget 'scope, may be too much for the drive to work properly for astrophotography

More strength? If you could explain I might be able to answer. This is a standard adapter for your camera-specific T-ring. You need both to mount/use a camera with a telescope (unless you get real lucky shooting through an eyepiece) - I've used them with heavy film cameras with no problem - on a decent telescope. If the 'scope is lightweight it's probably not good for astrophotography anyway. But the "strength" issue is unclear - are you planning on some other kind of use?

It works on my t3i/600d, not sure what mount the 70D carries. If same mount, then it should work for FD lenses and your camera.Note that performance is somewhat lackluster with intermediate glass, adjustment for infinity focus is difficult to maintain as glass can freely rotate with movement. Wasn't wonderfully impressed, but it does the job, and for the price and being able to use previously unavailable lenses, I suppose I'd purchase again.

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.

Yes, this will work just fine. I actually have it on a D7000 and am very happy with the results.

It can work with the 70mm AZ, but probably not a great combination. The camera will act as a 6mm eyepiece, so it will be hard to focus, center and track sky objects. Might be ok for fix objects on the ground if that is what you want to do. Try your scope with a 6mm or smaller eyepiece. If you are satisfied with the image, then the camera could work for you. I'm guessing it will be difficult to keep stable. 70mm aperature and and 100+ mag is pushing the limits.

I bought this camera strictly for astrophotography and have never thought about video. I got the camera body only and have an adapter for it so it will fit right onto my telescopes in place of the eyepiece. It works great and is delivering great pictures. You might google the camera and see if you can find info on it that way. Ron

It is a TTL capable flash for Canon cameras. I suppose it could work for 70D as on-camera flash. I have used it on two different Canon point and shoot cameras and it works. But if you mean whether it works as a slave flash away from the camera, it is a no.

It should work with your telescope. I have a 70mm refractor telescope and have used the celestron digital camera adapter with it to take photos of the moon with a point and shoot digital camera.

Yes, this lens works on an EF mount, compatible with a 70D and it is designed for a crop sensor camera, which the 70D is.

It works on my 70D but with different canon lenses like my 70-200m f/4L, 50mm f/1.4, and 24-70mm f/2.8L. I don't have a 100-300mm lens.

It works with my 70D, so I'm sure it will work with a 5D. As a flash in M mode, this is just as good if not better than canon for the money. The ETTL on this flash sucks though which is what I bought it for. when I do shows and event photography id rather let the camera and flash work together rather than have different exposures for groups scenes.

I have done astrophotography with my Canon Rebel T1i this using something like Deluxe Telescope Camera Adapter Kit for Canon EOS /Rebel DSLR - 1.25" Variable Eyepiece Projection & Prime Focus Be advised the telescope becomes rather ungainly with a DSLR hanging off of it.

Most recommended for this OTA and for proper astrophotography would be the Sirius EQ-G. That will provide great stability and allow you to attach your photo equipment.

I don't own a 60D or a 70D I have a t3i and it works great on that. My dad has the Canon 7D and he has the same timer shutter and it works fine for him. So I am guessing it would work

I use mine with a 70 -200 canon and every thing works great including auto focus. Very sharp
