boabsta Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 My barlow is t-threaded so I just use a t-ring on my D90 and pop it into the back of the scope. supposedly getting a zoom ep tonight thats t-threaded as well for direct dslr connection. From scopes n skies so will let you know how that works out.I dont know if youll be able to achieve focus by screwing into ota with no spacer.

Spikey Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I use a quicker method, pop out the EP and then pop in the DSLR that has a T ring and 1.25" nosepiece attached. Straight into the diagonal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccbmedic Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I attach mine direct to the back of the scope as its already threaded for the camera ring. I obviously remove the C-mount from the ring before hand. When I use the camera with any of my other scopes I simply attach the C-mount back to the ring. I find my camera sits far better connected to the 127 directly. I figured attaching it to the diagonal a disaster waiting to happen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabsta Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I don't use diagonal as don't fully trust it to take the weight. If your camera has live view you can use the screen zoom to magnify the image and check for focus that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
