Canon to scope

[Martin Whitaker]

Hi, I have now got a Canon 300dslr, what types of telescope connector will I need to connect it to a Meade s.newt and a cpc800.

Cheers.

What size is the focusser on the Meade SN?

For the CPC8000 you could use a SCT-T adaptor and an EOS T ring...

Hi psychobilly, 1.25 and 2inch, not sure about the Celestron though, it may only be 1.25 inch.

There are many different ways to connect the camera to the scopes...in general you will want to have the maximum possible clear aperture through the adaptors...but they will nearly all end up in t-threads for connection to cameras usign a T-ring specific to the camera you are using...

The CPC800 is supplied with a 1.25" visual back adaptor and whilst you could use a 1.25"-T adaptor I wouldn't recommend it...

You could get a 2" visual back for the SCT and then use a 2"-T adaptor with it this would allow the same adptor to be used with the Meade SN

Or you could just use an SCT-T adaptor with the CPC instead...
