Piggy Back

[Metalhead]

Hi all, as I am just starting this astrophotography game (well I will once I can see the sky above all this cloud) I was wondering if there is a comercially available piggy back mount that will attach my Canon 650D with a 75-300mm Zoom lens to the Celestron Nexstar 127 Mak? or can one be made from a few componants? cheers Pete

I've just had a search and there is such a beast out there. Not for your specific scope but there are some on here http://www.pulsar-optical.co.uk/cat/ae.html as an example.

You may also be able to fit a normal mount for a finder scope and then fix the camera that way which would make life easier.

Otherwise you could fit tube rings around the Mak and put your cam on top of one of them.
