Camera lens for CCD?

[ollypenrice]

Werner's glorious Antares region shot (POW this week) really makes me want to set up a camera lens on the atik 4000. It's mono so I would need spacing for a filter wheel and a focal length of around 180, plus or minus quite a lot. (I already have 328mm available with the Baby Q.)

Does anyone know of a system that works? ie lens and adapters etc. The whole thing looks like a minefield!

I did get an adaptor for the Atik 16 to Nikon from Bern, if it's all 'T' thread it might work. I used it for guiding with a 300mm but can't see any reason why it will not work with a short lens.

I ended up designing my own custom adapter to allow me to connect any Canon lens to my SXVF-M25C and SXVF-H9C and got a machine shop to make up an adapter for a Canon extension tube. Something along the lines of what I did (but with spacing for a filter wheel) should work fine. This link on my website may assist
