camera mounts

[Ghost66]

is there a way of fitting a kodak cx6445 to a skywatcher 130. been looking but not sure what is needed to do it.

The rings that came with the scope should have a 1/4" unc screw with round nylon black threaded (brass insert I think) washer about 35mm diameter and 5mm thick screwed into the top of one of the rings... your camera can screw onto this with the tripod hole in the base and the black washer locks it in place

See here...

This type of thing is going to do the trick.

There are a number of different designs that all do the same sort of job.

I used one for a year or two and managed to get some nice Moon and Sun (with the right solar filter) shots...

Nice images Ant!

Yes, I have the same afocal mount and it is very versatile. Well worth the money (£29.99 from First Light Optics!). Bear in mind though, it won't fit 2" eyepieces (well mine won't anyway!).
