How to use 2" Astronomik CLS Filter with DSLR and Scope

[antarixsh]

Hi,

Can anyone give me advise on how to use the 2" inch astronomik CLS filter between my Nikon DSLR and my scope to take pictures through the scope?

The 2" filter will not screw into the T2 Nikon adapter.

My scope is SkyWatcher 150PDS and my DSLR is Nikon D7000

Any help greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

You would need to use a 2" nosepiece screwed into the T2 adaptor and then put the filter on the end of that

However that might introduce focus problems I'm afraid as the camera will be further away from the scope by the time you've put all the 2" adaptors on

Thanks for the link and suggestion. I agree, looks like it might create focus problems.

Will this work instead?
