Cornelius Varley Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Take a look at the top two items. These are designed to hold a compact camera up to the eyepiece for afocal imaging. AdaptorsPeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornelius Varley Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Unfortunately compact cameras with fixed lenses are unsuitable for prime focus photography. The camera lens is removed on a DSLR and the telescope then becomes a large telephoto lens.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
