Attaching a DSLR to a Telescope with views of Jupiter and the Moon

[@guameimei1]

Thanks, Sir. I appreciate this video and you taking the time to explain everything. Invaluable info for those of us who are just getting started in this activity. This was very helpful.

[@seapilot4042]

I agree, just the speed I need to start and enjoy the hobby.

[@D...Bizzle81]

Completely agree with that 👏

[@RandomGuy-qn2fr]

Thank You so much for making this video. You answered all my questions with how to install the adapter and how the celestron 130slt telescope works with a camera attached.

[@BunnyRaptor]

I have a 130 slt as well and for many years I've been using a barlow for prime focus no problem. The barlow I have screws directly to the T-ring, thus it pulls the focus in a little closer.

[@eyrefernandez5878]

Love how the clouds just faded the out, and fade in the moon. Beautiful...

“I’m gonna use the 9mm” Me: hm I must be watching the wrong type of video

[@tedwilliams3875]

Unfortunately not all telescopes have the 1.25 eyepiece adapter that unscrews to attach the extender tube or T-ring and you need to use the T adapter that you set aside or an extender tube with a wide 2 inch thread. Like for example the Dobsonian I use which is the Zhumell Z8 has a 2 inch focuser with the 1.25 adapter that goes inside. However that 1.25 adapter does not unscrew to attack a T-ring or extension tube like yours does so you will need that little 1.25 adapter ring that you set aside to be screwed into the extension tube and then into your telescope 1.25 focuser. If I want to attach that extension tube or T-ring directly to my scope, I need to use a 2 inch wide adapter since my 1.25 adapter does not screw together. Any celestron, Sky Watcher or Orion Xt series scopes comes with that type of 1.25 Adapter that unscrews to attach the camera prime. So when you watch this video, make sure your scope has that type of 1.25 focuser adapter that unscrews to attach items to it and make sure yours is not like mine witch does not unscrew but comes out leaving the 2 inch focuser threaded for attachments. :) As for shooting prime. On most all Newtonians you need to use a barlow lens or unless the scope has a short focal length.

[@spicyhat2705]

Jesus Crust you literally made this totally understandable for me. All of these search videos don't do a justice the way you do with the camera and the telescope

[@jackg7225]

I’m new to this and I still have a lot to learn, no idea what fx means but good to hear about some of the camera settings. I have the t-ring adapter and the piece to fit onto that and into the 2 inch focuser but no result able picture but I did notice how dirty my primary mirror was when I was lining up the scope on the moon and got that cleaned today.

[@dwightshumate8709]

Thank you. I bet I've spent close to 200 bucks trying to get my D5100 to connect to my reflector. After watching your video it works!

[@chrisnurse6430]

Just bought a similar kit. Thanks so much from a star watcher who was three years in the future. 😋

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Ooh, you've just given me some extra options, and a use for that middle tube. I was always running it prime because I couldn't get focus with the tube, but now I understand it's supposed to take an eyepiece... Thanks, been looking for a nice tutorial for this for ages!

[@xXTECHxKNIGHTXx]

Thank you for the video, my roommate has an old DSLR that he isn't using and I just started taking photos of the moon. I got a phone adapter for it and was able to snap some good shots with it. Time to step up with a DSLR adapter :D

[@aa2339]

Love those ambient night sounds as well.

[@shuriken4100]

This is amazing, Thank you sir for sharing excellent images...

[@njords77]

I should be getting my DSLR adapter pieces any day now and this is very helpful. Thanks.

[@adamsmith6594]

Didn't know anything a week ago but after watching this I have my scope and the t ring turned up today and I'm just using the 2 inch barrel direct into prime. Now just need the weather to be on the same page as I am 😕

[@walterwold1168]

Really helpful! Just got a 8", and I'm getting a camera on after this video. Thanks!

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

That is a slick trick! The only other way, will be to move the objective mirror forward by about two inches. Then you should not need any tricks to get prime focus. The only thing tho, you will need a two inch tube to get the eyepiece to work, or move the objective back two inches.

[@scottpatrick8645]

thank you!!! I am going to try to photograph the ISS with my 8 inch reflector. this video is exactly what I needed.

[@sammyer4331]

How did they come out?

[@kevlarV2rocketRSV]

Gave me a few ideas for my 4SE. I want to capture Jupiter with four moons tonight. Thanks for the info. 🙏👌👍

[@likebutton3136]

Two nights of messing around and I can't get it to focus. Then at 2:11 you blew my mind. I will be trying it tomorrow night.

[@Manny_News_Blogs_Tutorials]

Funny I actually sanded off about an inch of the focuser barrel just to get the DSLR closer and get it to focus, thinking the focusing tube was way too long. LoL!. Thank God I discovered this video I no longer have to so silly things with my precious telescope.

[@SpacePlan10]

Awesome job. I tried to get my 450d through my son’s sw130p last night. Just couldn’t get a good focus and the exposure wasn’t all that good but I’ll keep trying.

[@nikandbdog]

Good video. I just bought a SkyWatcher 102 refractor. I am trying to figure out the best way to connect my Canon M50. I bought this: Astromania Canon EOS-M T2 Mount Lens Adapter and M42 to 1.25" Telescope Adapter (T-Mount) for Canon EOS-M Camera System Telescope/Spotting Scope Accessories...but I am not having much luck. I can't get a clear focus.

[@phoebelala]

Like wow, this is such a brilliant video, I'm a total new starter and you have helped me a great deal to understand this. Looks like I need a bunch of stuff! Thanks for your time and effort 👍

[@Rotceh-r4g]

Great video man! You must have been a plumber in a past life, 'cause you have a real talent for putting these accessories together. Nice job. I'm also a fan of that KENKO 2X, I'll be using mine. Thank you for posting this. Kind regards!

Thank you so much! I tried this using the SLT130 & sony a6000 without the teleconverter and I wasn’t able to obtain focus. Im not sure if I have to get a telescope camera or a teleconverter

[@GarnettLeary]

Consider testing with a 2" barrel threaded into the t-ring. It will greatly improve light gained by the sensor and will only cost you roughly $10. Thanks for the reference on Eyepiece projection with this model. It's a popular telescope. Clear skies.

I can't focus with my DSLR and my telescope, with the converter is enough to resolve the problem??

[@k1ng401]

Jossiel Fraire friend of mine had that problem with his Skyprodigy. He also fixed it by dropping in a 3 x Barlow then dropping the T-adaptor into that. 2x was not long enough focal length but the 3x pushed the focus far enough out that it reached the back of his DSLR

[@MrAdventureHat]

That is, absolutely insane like I just recently got into astrophotography had a lot of my stuff from 2 years ago just never got into it but I have been taking photos of the moon with the svbony 105 digital lense thing, and yes thing meaning idk what the hell I'm on about, but like that was the crazy main reason I wanna use a camera is to both get a full view of the moon and planets and to see stars and the nebulae as the svbony 105 doesn't let me see any stars just planets and moons which on its own is crazy but I don't nearly get the detail like that like you can see the actual depth and height of the craters that's bloody insane

[@kevinashley478]

This is probably a stupid question, but what is FX and DX modes? And just a general question, can any telescope connect to a DSLR with the adapters?

[@scannerguy1968]

+Hinu B about the only thing you can do is google a t ring for it. Or find mm thread size and type that in eBay or such. Say 48mm t ring adapter or something

[@nguyenbanghia8970]

Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great kzbin.infoUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!

[@Марк.Фетнов]

Thanks for the video tutorial, you've confirmed what I've been trying WILL work! My question is, does the distance from the eyepiece to the sensor matter, or is all focussing done simply by focussing the scope normally? I struggled to get an image on the camera as sharp as I could see it through the eyepiece? Im using a skywatcher 130 / 900 telescope. I tried running my fuji xt1 on the scope in prime and the image of saturn / jupiter is tiny. With a 2x barlow and a 18mm eyepiece in a similar setup to yours I found that the image is larger and brighter ( 1/3 sec ss vs 1/30 both @ iso 1600) but not very sharp at all. Cheers, Mark,
