Adaptor?...

[New Star Gazers]

Hello,

Can anyone advise us which adaptor we will need to connect our DSLR camera to our SkyWatcher 200p please?

Had a look ourselves but we are not certain we have found the right one. We have come across something called a Nikon T Ring.

Thanks in advance.

 Not that one. That one is for connecting a Skywatcher coma corrector to a camera.

This one http://www.firstlightoptics.com/adaptors/t-rings.html. The exact one will depend on the make of camera.

You may need more than a t-ring. This may help

If you have the 2" focuser you should use this adapter this goes in the focuser and screws into the T-Ring...

If you have a 1.25" focuser this one, if you have a choice go for the 2"

Yep  - sorry not that one. Was a quick pasting.

So would we just need the T-Ring or would we also need a 2" T adaptor?  I have read conflicting advise just from Google that the camera would be too far from the telescope using the t-adaptor to focus properly. 

Sorry so confused!

This will probably help

You probably need a coma corrector to take nice photos with that telescope, a coma corrector could have M48 or T2 (M42) thread.

I guess that you have a f/5 scope?

Check out my thread here about correctors.

Yes our scope is f/5, thanks for the link, will take a look.

Baader MK III will fit screws straight on to the T-Ring like this......

I think the Baader MK III have both a T2 (M42) and M48 thread. The GPU Aplanatic coma corrector did only have a M48 thread and I think T2 thread is going to be deprecated in the future.
