Celestron Universal Digital Camera Adapter

I did not have a Celestron telescope. I had a Meade 4" Schmidt Cassegrain and a Televue Ranger 70mm. Both of these scopes use the same eyepieces that Celestron scopes use. My scopes were 1.25 inch eyepiece diameter. Any 1.25in. diameter eyepiece is usable with this adapter for digiscoping. This adapter also happens to work with 2.0" diameter eyepieces. If you are using a scope with a .96" eyepiece, this adapter may NOT work. This adapter has no optics, it simply holds your compact digital camera over the eyepiece on a tripod. It works well. Note: with magnification at these high levels, it can take some time to find your subject and then take the photo. I used this adapter with a Nikon Coolpix 5400 camera. It does work with many other cameras and brands. I hope this answers your question and helps. Jim

nice product, built very well. a little bulky and heavy but works well for lighter cameras.

As a beginner with a real interest in astronomy, I wanted to be able to take photos of the moon and other celestial bodies with my point and shoot digital camera. This item makes it possible to do so with ease. Like all (in my experience) Celestron products that are made in [*], I am pleased with the quality, construction and ease of use. Once mounted on the telescope, it's easy to fine tune adjustments.

The platform is too small, and too close to the attachment on the Telescope. There needs to be some kind of extension for most common Cameras. It won't work with most cameras!
