Two-part 1.25" camera adaptor. This adaptor allows any digital or film interchangeable lens SLR (single lens reflex) camera to be attached to any 1.25” eyepiece holder (however, the additional T-ring camera adaptor required for this is not included). See lower picture for detail of T mount and eyepiece position (please note: the eyepiece the eyepiece is for illustration purposes only and is not included!)

This versatile adaptor is used for prime-focus and eyepiece-projection astrophotography with SCTs and refractors. It can also be used successfully with many Newtonian telescopes that either have removable sections on the eyepiece holder (to allow the camera to reach focus), or by employing a 2x Barlow lens to extend the focus point (see Barlows) - bear in mind that the latter will greatly increase the image scale.

The front nosepiece section - which is threaded for standard filters - can be removed (click image for more) and is threaded to take T-mount adaptors for your particular brand of camera (this is not included but readily available from camera shops). Using the nosepiece alone allows simple prime-focus photography - can also be combined with a Barlow lens to increase the image scale. The rear section screws onto the nosepiece and is designed to hold a 1.25” eyepiece (ideally a mid-focal length Plossl, say a 12.5 to 20mm) for eyepiece-projection photography, with a thumb screw to lock the eyepiece in position.

Made entirely of aluminium with anodised black finish - great quality feel. These adaptors sell for anything up to three times our price.
