Filter to camera connection

Recommended Posts

Good afternoon,

Silly question here, having never used a cooled CCD camera other than a QSI 583wsg which has the built in filter wheel, I'm a little unsure how to connect my setup together when it arrives. 

I have the ASI533 coming with a 2" UV/IR filter and a 2" Optolong L-eXtreme filter which will be connected to a Samyang 135. I have read the manual and it says that the camera just requires an EOS-T2 adapter (which I have a couple of) and that adding the 2" filter between adapter and canon lens is 'optional'. Will the filter just screw in to the EOS-T2 adapter? Do I need anything else to make it work as I'm not sure how it'll screw in or slot in etc. Would I need to buy something like that ZWO EOS-T2 with integrated filter slot?

The reason I went with the 2" filters rather than the 1.25" was future proofing myself and I'm also probably going to buy the Redcat 51 in the coming months (whenever they're back in stock!) and that has an integrated filter slot.

Thanks for the help.

Phil.
