Questions & Answers

Steven K : I have a Questar Telescope and a Nikon DSLR 3200. Will this work? If not what do I need to get?ALEXANDER K : it will probably connect, but from my experience, anything taken through an eyepiece will give pretty bad results. Eyepieces are not designed to deliver flat image plane, that means that the center of your image will be in focus but as you more away from the center the image will quickly lose focus. my results were basically unusable images except if i wanted to capture something very small which only took a small area in the center of the image
KEITH L : What will I additionally need to connect to pentax k mount?JAMES G : I do not know about pentax adaptation. I would advice that you go to 'cloudy nights' site forum and ask there. it is a free forum.ROBERT F : If you are connecting to a camera without a lens you will need a t-mount adapter for a pentax camera. If your camera has a lens attached you will need a stepring that matches your lens filter size. example if the lens is a 52mm the stepring will be T-52mm.PERRY H : You will need a female t-thread to Pentax K-mount adapter. The Scopetronix adapter ends in male t-threads. The adapter you need screws onto those with the other end going on your Pentax. I don't use Pentax kit. I use Canon EOS. So, the adapter I use is one with female t-threads on one side and the EOS bayonet connection on the other, just as a Canon EF or EF-S lens would have for mounting directly to the cam.
Fernando S : I would like to use my Canon DSLR camera to take some pictures with my Coronado PST Solar scope. Will this adapter work?ALLAN O : Fernando, I have used the adapter to connect my canon for eyepiece projection with my pst.TODD D : With the right right filter thread adapter for the filter size you need for you lens it should go on. But all the weight of your camera will be hanging on three tiny set screws. I put a canon powershot s90 on it which is alot lighter and I don't know if I would trust my dslr on it. Although I have to say it does attach quite tightly. There are shelf-like mounts for holding a camera on a scope, maybe with one of those so all the cameras weight isn't hanging on the digi-t adapter you would be ok. I should say I have only dabbled with hooking cameras up to telescopes and am hardly an expert.PERRY H : Hey Fernando, Yes, it will. The first piece of the ScopeTronix adapter mates with the eyepiece via set screws. The second piece of the ST adapter mates to the first and provides t-threads on the other end. To mate that to your cam, you will need a t-thread/EOS adapter. One end of that adapter will accept the t-threads from the second ST piece. The other end bayonets into your cam's lens mounting. Just be cautious that you have the first piece of the adapter firmly mounted to the EP and that you have the EP firmly mounted in your PST. That entire unit is carrying the weight of your camera!!! Also, check those connections from time to time to ensure they are solid. Hope this helps!DANIEL W : The concept works, I used it on my Canon camcorder. You will just need to make sure the size is correct. Check your eyepiece to make sure it is threaded.

Works as promised.

Works as promised. Can attach to a wide variety of eye pieces. Requires a long focus on the telescope but does come into focus before hitting the end stops.

This product is exactly what I needed.

The Digi-T system is quick, secure, and easy to use.

Less Vignetting - When coupling a digital camera to a telescope it is imperative that the eyepiece lens and the camera lens are as close together as possible, a separation of even 1/2" will result in an image like looking through a soda straw. When installed onto the eyepiece Digi-T is flush with the top. Thanks to Digi-T's exclusive "thread-through-thread" design the step ring then threads completely over it, adding zero length. No other adapter gets as close!

Fits More Eyepieces - There are 2 types of conventional eyepiece projection adapters, fixed length and variable. The fixed length adapters are too short to hold the most popular eyepieces (such as the 26mm Super Plossl) and too narrow to hold many others. The variable length adapters are designed for film cameras and are simply too long to allow the close coupling necessary for digital cameras, in addition they are still too narrow to hold any of the wider field eyepieces. Digi-T fits a 4mm Plossl or a 40mm Plossl!

No Back Focus Problems - All conventional eyepiece projection adapters have one thing in common, they lift the eyepiece up in the holder by about 1". For many refractors and reflectors this is a serious problem as they can no longer reach focus! This is especially true with the popular ETX60/70 telescopes. Since Digi-T attaches to the top of the eyepiece it doesn't change the eyepiece position at all and focus remains the same.

Convenient - No need to search the world over for a bunch of oddball hard to find rings to attach your camera and then hoping they will all work together. In most cases you can have everything you need with a single click!
