How do I connect my Nikon camera to my telescope?

A DSLR camera can be attached to your telescope using a T-Ring that locks onto the camera body like a lens, and an adapter that threads onto the T-Ring. The prime-focus adapter is inserted into the focus tube of the telescope just like an eyepiece.

How do I use the Nikon T adapter?

In order to use the Nikon T-Ring, remove the lens from your camera, and attach the T-Ring in its place, just as you would if you were mounting a lens. The telescope side of the T-Ring has threads that will accept a variety of camera adapters, including the Celestron T-Adapter.

How do you find the prime magnification of a focus?

If you divide the telescope focal length in millimeters by 50mm the result is the magnification. As an example, my 4” refractor has a 600mm focal length. Therefore the magnification at prime focus with a camera is 600mm divided by 50mm or 12 times magnification.

What is Prime focus?

prime focus is when a camera is attached directly to the optical path of a camera lens or telescope without an eyepiece although a camera tele-converter lens or a Barlow lens may be added to the system to increase magnification.
