Are you 'prime focus' or 'afocal' ?

  1. 'prime focus'... means using the telescope as the camera lens so you will need a T-ring and/or 1.25" or 2" nosepiece if the focusser tube is not threaded.
  2. 'afocal'... means using a telescope eyepiece, eyepiece projection unit [epu], and T-ring, therefore magnifying the subject.cropIMG_0386.jpg.c6916394a204647b4138f4e103b334ef.jpg
  3. possibly a Barlow lens or PowerMate for lunar, planetary or solar (see below) imaging.
  4. red light/torch.
  5. spare battery/batteries for camera & torch, (if not powered via powerbank/external power source).
  6. patience.

Above is an afocal image of Montes Apenninus using a Meade ETX105, 20mm Plossl in the eyepiece projection unit, (as shown in the first image), and an Olympus C2040 digital compact camera.
