Meade 1000mm (90B) Rear Mount help

[n0de]

Hi,

I recently acquired an older Meade 1000mm MAK Spotting scope - I was hoping that someone would be able to help me discover what kind of mount is at the back so that I can attach my dslr camera to this nice bit of kit.

I have had no luck with the T2(it's a little too big) adaptor that I currently use on my Dob's setup.

here's a closeup of the mount - it will take a Baader Planetarium #2958500 adapter but i'm just not sure what kind/name the scope end of the mount is...

please note that I do not own the Baader adaptor - I'm trying to find something else to use in its place (hopefully thats possible!)

cheers!

I think it was called a T adaptor, not to be confused with T2. It is probably the M42 screw thread.

thanks for the reply - i'll see if i can track down a T adapter to go with my T2

cheers

Meade ETX accessories may fit.

The ETX rear cell is 1.375" x 24TPI

To fit eyepieces you need a "Visual Back".

To fit a DSLR you need a "Meade #64ST T Adapter" plus  a "T ring" for your brand of DSLR.

That's if the ETX thread is the same of course.
