Yea I've attempted searches with t-adapter, eyepiece adapter, t-ring eyepiece adapter and no luck. The set of lenses that have the adapter on them are the 1.25 Celestron Nexstar Plossl. There are 2 of those. I also have an adapter on a 1.25 Celestron OMNI Plossl. This tells me it's not just a certain eyepiece. These just thread on where the rubber eyepiece relief is removed. Oh well, I'll keep searching. Lol

You are correct. Mine is matte black inside the tube.

I have a few eyepieces that have an adapter mounted on the eyepiece that enables me to screw the eyepiece into my T-ring for my camera. I also have another set of eyepieces that have a couple different magnifications and a barlow lens. I was wondering what the adapter was called so I could put these on my other eyepieces.

Nice setup. I was able to get my like new C90 for $120. Couldn't pass that up.

Very nice pic! I think the 600 series of Canons were more designed for astrophotography. The pic I took is on my tripod that really can't handle the weight of the scope and camera. Hoping the new mount will help. Yea, it was 2 reasons that I bought the C90. One was for a quick look at the moon and such and the other was for a spotting scope at the gun range.

Cool eclipse pic. Yea I should get my Sky-watcher AZ-GTe mount in this week. Looking forward to mounting the C90 on it. My avatar is a pic I took with my canon T4i with the C90 a couple weeks ago. The tripod I have right now is not very steady and is not fluid head so it's hard to work with it.

I bought this C90 a few weeks ago. I have been able to see the moon good of course and was able to see this last conjunction pretty goo. Does any here have a C90 and how has your experience been with seeing anything deeper in space? I bought this for just a quick view of the sky once in a while. My Sky-Watcher AT-GTe mount will be in this friday. Hoping it will be pretty stable on the mount as I have been taking pictures also. I also have a Celestron CPC 800 but it's packed up and really don't have a place to keep it setup right now. I'm thinking of buying one of those Sky Shed domes. Thanks for any input! Bobby

This is what I didn't know. When it says WiFI, I just thought it was able to receive home wifi and then connect. I just watched a pretty cool little vide on on the synscan app and he mentioned that the mount is it's own hotspot! I am glad to know that, I won't be confined to being within my internet distance. Lol

Yea I have taken pics by way of prime focus but I wanted to get some more magnification. The variable adapter is definitely not going to holder these eyepieces. I have thread adapters on the ends of my eyepieces that screw into my t-ring. I was hoping the variable adapter would help with focusing. Thanks David! Bobby

I have just ordered a sky-watcher AZ-GTe Mount. Reading this thread is starting to make me realize I may have issues. I have a wireless ISP. So my wifi runs off a router. Not much in the way of turning that off or I lose all wifi. Why is it that y'all mention turning off the home wifi. How else do you connect to the mount?

Hello all. I have had a few telescopes in the past years. Mostly a couple small Meades and then I graduated to celestron. I have a CPC 8 right now but it's packed away. So I bought me a little MAK C90 spotting scope. Not a bad little scope. Was able to see the Conjunction or Jupiter & Saturn a week or so ago. Right now I'm trying to setup my canon to my C90. I bought one of those variable telescope camera adapters but my Nexstar Plossi's won't fit into them. So I have a couple questions. 1. I have threads on these Plossi's that thread directly to my T-adapter. Will I get the same effect going straight from camera - t-Adapter - lense - scope? @. If I have to use the variable adapetr, can I buy one that these fat plossi's will fit in to? Thanks all and hope to have some fun here. Btw, my other forums/hobbies are Coins, vintage watches & guns. Lol
