Camera telescope adapter

Description

Opticon telescope camera adapter

Most of us have the urge to capture special moments and the beauty around us. This also applies to space observation. It's great to observe the rings of Saturn or a lunar eclipse, but we also want to be able to come back to those views, and that's possible with astrophotography.

A camera for a telescope or a photo camera allows us to photograph and record celestial bodies, but it is necessary to have an adapter.

How does the photo adapter work?

The adapter allows you to connect these devices to an astronomical telescope. This allows you to take a photo or record what you see with the telescope's eyepiece. The correct installation of the adapter and the settings of the camera or camcorder itself make it possible to stabilise the image and thus record photos and videos in better quality.

Which devices is the Photo Adapter compatible with?

The photo adapter can be mounted on a spotting scope or mirrorbut you need to know the model. You also need to know the parameters of the eyepiece. The Opticon adapter has a holder that can be 0.98″and 1.25″ focusser and is compatible with the following telescope models:

- OPTICON Constellation PRO 90F1000EQ telescope
- OPTICON ProWatcher 70F900EQ telescope
- OPTICON Sky Navigator 70F700EQ Telescope
- OPTICON Horizon EX 76F900AZ Telescope
- OPTICON Discovery 114F900AZ Telescope
- OPTICON Galaxy 150F1400EQ telescope
- OPTICON Universe 114F1000EQ Telescope
- OPTICON Zodiac 76F900EQ Telescope
- OPTICON StarQuest 76F300DOB Telescope
- OPTICON Constellation 80F900EQ telescope

How is the camera adapter mounted on the telescope?

The camera adapter is mounted on the focuser. The lens of the camera is thus attached to the eyepiece in a stable manner, but the device itself can be moved accordingly to sharpen the image and thus obtain a better quality recording or photo.

Assembly is quick and easy, so that even beginners can manage it. And once you have gained the necessary experience, the whole procedure should take no more than a few seconds.

An important feature of the adapter is certainly the fact that it is made from a combination of durable steel and strong aluminium, so that the device will last for years.
