Connecting my Canon T5i to my Skywatcher 80ED

[AGreyCrane]

I have been reading till my brain has turned to mush, and decided (for the moment) that long term I am going to pick up a CCD. In the near term however, I'd like to be able to snap some pics through the 80ED with my T5i. It was a terrible chore to hold the T5i up to the eye piece and try not to shake at all when viewing Jupiter last night.

I know I need a Tring, is this the right one/type? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000237C9M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I believe I also need a nose piece to go from the Tring to the scope, but I am not exactly sure what to be looking for. Could anyone link me the right product?

Is there anything else I am missing?

Thanks in advance!

If you have the standard 2" focuser then this 2" nosepiece will screw into the (correct) Canon EOS adaptor that you linked to in your post.

Or here is a USA dealer with stock (at higher price).

The T5i is perhaps better known as the 700D which may help when looking for accessories.

Once hooked up it should offer better pics than a CCD but may lack functionality e.g. stacking.

It should connect to 2-in or 1.1/4-in by a screw-on adaptor tube or by a nose but you may want to use a Barlow in front which probably means 1.1/4-in fittings.

The adaptor may screw straight on to the focuser tube.

I prefer to have a Barlow on there since it keeps the sensor sealed up and kept clean.

The Amazon T-ring shown is EOS to T2 (T-thread) which is a 42mm metric thread (not the Praktica M42 lens mount)

This adaptor should screw straight on to a Barlow T-adaptor but you may need an extension tube depending on back focus and whether you can or want to fit an eyepiece inside.

Terrific! Thank you both so much, I've got the following two things ordered.

If you are using a reducer you will need http://www.firstlightoptics.com/adaptors/flo-m48-to-t2-adapter.html

I have a skywatcher 80ED and a canon 450d.

I use this http://www.firstlightoptics.com/reducersflatteners/skywatcher-field-flattener.html (acts an extension tube and helps flatten the field) with a Canon T ring adapter, which threads on the end of this.  Then slot the whole ting into the 80 ED tube.
