Hi Carole I was trying it with my cannon m5 since it's a mirrorless camera and extreamly light but it wouldn't take a pic without a lens on. I do have the t ring attachment but I belive I ordered the wrong on its 3 inches in length....I'm not sure if the camera was still trying to focuse after I focused with the scope...its all sounding so confusing lol...I ordered a smaller t ring going to look into a Bahtinov mask...I know nothing on how to do this having a blast trying to learn thanks to all for advice andy

Thanks Dave! So many different explanations on how to do it...so many say to change the aperture good to know...ya I have been using the scope to focus just been having a issue with the camera wanting to auto focus trying to find that setting lol....it says it's in mf but still tries to af and the t ring I got is way to long I ordered the right one...do you know if theres anything else I need? So threads say to add a barlow lens is that true? Some also say to order a focuser attachment?

I relize its alot of questions I'm hoping I can get some links to good tutorials or some advice from you all. Andy
