Attaching Camera to Telescope

[Wolfetone]

What exactly do I need to attach a Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR to my new Celestron AstroMaster 90AZ? Not expecting anything special, but my friend wants to try his camera with my new toy.

You will need a T-adapter and a T-ring for Canon. You can read more about that in your manual, p. 19 (Astrophotography section).

Okay, thanks. A quick search  and I found a T-ring and a T-adapter. Is that all I would need?

Yes to connect the camera to the telescope, but you may need to add an extension tube to obtain focus

Same question with identical camera but SkyWatcher reflector 150mm f/5 on EQ3 mount ?

I've seen some shops selling Canon T-rings for 'Vixen' or 'Celestron' but are these compatible with Skywatchers ?

Thanks 4 helping ,

 I might not require a T-adapter but just a T-ring for the skywatcher...

The T-ring is camera specific and adapts the cameras bayonet to a standard T2 thread. The T adaptor allows you to connect the T2 thread to the focuser tube.

Check if your scope already has one, my SW 130P has a T2 thread on the focuser.
