PaulCH Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 HiI currently own a celestron slt 127 and a nikon D60 dslr, I live in light polluted SE London so being pragmatic, I am looking at the moon, sun and planets, no deep space stuff - at the moment - and realise I would need a different mount etc for that.Anyhow, I have a bit of money, do I go for a T ring and adapter and use my DSLR or a cheap / reasonable priced "other" devise. If so what is recommended?Also I have just upgraded my desktop which I intended to use for registax etc but won't be able to connect this direct to the scope, unless anybody knows were I can get a 30m cable!Any thoughts most welcome on this rainy night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox45 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You can buy an USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter and cat.5 ethernet cable plus 2 RJ45 connector. That would be cheap and you could go up to 100m I think.For the camera I find that this works better than T ringTrue-2 2" UltraWide Prime Focus Telescope Adaptershttp://www.telescopeadapters.comwith a Baader 2" SCT Click-Lock Eyepiece Adapter / Visual Backhttp://agenaastro.com/baader-2-sct-click-lock-eyepiece-adapter-visual-back-2-sct-thread.htmlVery tight and secure for the camera and easy to use with the click lock !My 2 cents.
