Attach dslr to telescope

[deepind]

Hi..

When I attach the t adapter with barlow to telescope I get a black screen in my nikon d3200 live view . .how to capture image? and how to attach eyepiece and camera?

What exposure settings were you using ?

[deepind]

Manual...I checked different exposure but I get black screen . ..

What are you trying to focus on please? Sighting on a distant object in the daytime is the easiest way to diagnose any problems, just be careful not to point your scope anywhere near the Sun.

An eyepiece isn't required when using a camera.

Now working...I forget to remove lens cover....hehehe

Hi..

Do i need 2 use 2x barlow lens and dslr or only can i attach dslr to the telescope? because images are not coming clearly and some round big circle is coming in the pictures...

What telescope are you using?

Big circle sounds like you are not focused.

You will need to use a barlow to get a focussed image with your Astromaster 130.

iam having celestron 130eq..i used 2x barlow lens..but even when it is focused a big light circle is displayed in the image..

Focus isnt right

This is a quote from someone with the same issue " I received a Barlow X2 adapter today and plugged my camera into it - and Gah .... did not focus. I removed the lense from the front of the Barlow and placed it on the T-Adapter and I can now focus  "  try that . HTH

Hi..thanks for replies...sterday i took picture of orion nebula with my nikon d3200 attached to my celestron astromaster130eq with 2xbarlow lens..but i could see only a tiny dot in the liveview of camera and somehow i took picture but it was not very clear and not good...same for others also..so is this camera problem or it will come like that only ? for this camera?

And also when attached camera it only focus and take pictures of only a single object..it doesnot take other things nearby...

Your camera is fine I expect.

But it still reads like you are not getting focus, this is very common with your telescope. Practice using the Moon that would be easier for you to work out if you can get focus with your x2 barlow.

i focussed correctly with eyepiece,but when i attach my camera to take picture in the live view it is seen like a tiny dot..but i focussed...when i see normally with telescope also it is small n size....when seeing in 2x barlow and 10mm eyepiece...

You can't compare what your camera sees with what you see when using an eyepiece.

Are you using your camera with lens on to take a picture through your eyepiece?

[deepind]

no...i used t-thread and barlow lens...

[happy-kat]

So forget what you see with eyepiece.

I do think you need to practice trying to get focus but use the Moon it is bigger so hopefully easier. Once you know you can get your telescope to focus with a camera you will have something to work from. Make a mental note where the focuser position was when you get focus to help you next time you try.

Only really bright stars will show in live view and if you are no where near focus you may see nothing.
