Meade two-part 24.5mm (0.965") deluxe camera adaptor. This adaptor allows any digital or film interchangeable lens SLR (single lens reflex) camera to be attached to any 24.5mm eyepiece holder (however, the additional T-ring camera adaptor required for this is not included). See lower picture for detail of T mount attachment and eyepiece projection barrel.

This versatile adaptor is used for prime-focus and eyepiece-projection astrophotography with all refractor telescopes that use 24.5mm fit eyepieces. 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 nose-piece section - which is threaded for standard filters - can be removed and is threaded to take T-mount adaptors for your particular brand of camera (not included). Using the nose-piece 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 nose-piece and is designed to hold a 24.5mm eyepiece (ideally 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.
