DSLR to 300p skywatcher

[mindburner]

hi

It's a newbie question and I have searched and found some info but not for the skywatcher 300p

I have a 300p it has a direct DSLR connector. I already have a T-ring for my Nikon. My question is, do I need another connector/adapter or does the T-ring connect directly to the scope.

thanks

My 200P's 2"/1.25" EP adapter unscrews so that the larger 2" bit screws into the T ring, don't know if that is the case for the 300P.

I did buy one an adapter similar to this so I can use a LPF as the adapter supplied with my scope is not threaded for filters.

T-ring screws on to the focusser, then it's the usual bayonet fitting the camera to the t-ring. On my scope you can leave the t-ring attached and screw the ep holder back on as well so when you want to image you just unscrew the ep holder and attach the camera to the t-ring.

many thanks. Got the camera on tonight but no seeing due to the weather. Hopefully the focus will be ok and there will enough range.

Nice one.

Be good to get some clear skies. I've had two sessions of a couple of hours each since I got my 'scope a month ago .

It's such a pain isnt it? I spent the night adding a fan to the scope amd messing around in my shed, helped by a few mexical beers. Seriously orangy damp skies outside

Well, at least you have an Eagle transporter to fly off to Moonbase Alpha whenever you want LOL.

LOVED Space 1999!

that is brill! really good. my wife says I am wired to the moon. Space 1999, especially the first series was great. Very dark. Effects were excellent, I think ever look good today. Music was well done too.
