DSLR filter help.

[Phil-lost!]

This might sound like a silly question but if i attach my dslr to my scope how would i use filters? do they screw inside the T ring?

[Bizibilder]

Normally there is a filter thread inside the adapter that the t-ring screws onto - ie the bit that actually goes into the focusser.

ah yes found it now thanks.

Silly question but do you need 2" filters if you use the 200p as it has a 2" focusser?

[DaveS]

If your adapter is 2" (Which it should be) then yes, you do.

[stubbadub]

The part that connects to the T Ring to the focuser does not have any threads to attach a filter only the 2" extension tube has. I have the standard parts that come with a 200pds

Do i attach the camera to T Ring > T Adapter > Extension tube > Filter and then insert into focuser? I do not have the filter yet, just wanted to know how it attaches.

Sorry for the thread hijack and the silly questions

if you have a Canon DSLR then get the Astronomik EOS clip filters, they sit inside the camera just in front of the sensor and are superb, but expensive

I have looked at the clip filters and thats something to look into but i am still stuck on how 2" filters attach when using the camera and T rings ect

I think you can get a 2" filter holder which has a male T thread one side and female the other, and filter slot on the middle.

I am sure i have seen them, i have a 1.25" version
