C Mount

[Okeydokey]

Having just acquired a CCD of sorts with a C mount, simply put... how do I get this to mate with my 1.25 eye piece & holder?  I can find C mount to T mount adapter but it is all turning out very confusing.

At the same time how do I get to use my 1.25 EP collection with the T mount, is this a case of taking apart the EP looking for a thread that fits?

The CCD is on its way but I would love to have somekind of proper solution to C mount to EP also on its way

Many thanks

Hi,

You need a C to 1.25" adapter, see the link please. As a side note I don't understand  why  they are still using a mount format designed for security cameras on an astronomical instrument.

It depends on the make of camera. The Imaging Source cameras, for example, are based on industrial cameras.
