Questions & Answers

Shopper : Can I put a Nikon D7000 on this scope then wify to my computer with a wify SD card?ODED K : wify SD card?????ODED K : Wow, Adorama sent me an email asking for answers on this question, nice!! You can sure connect your camera into this scope, but you will need to get the "Nikon T-ring" adapter first. But let me advise you that if what to do astrophotography, this is not the kind of telescope you want to buy, it is not prepared for it and you can only do instant shots, when what you want is to take long exposure pictures. This scope does not have any motor and GOTO system that will make your scope follow the object automatically. Make sure you ask first before buying it (if you haven't already) Clear Skies my friend!!!STEPHEN H : No, you will not be able to pull prime focus with a DSLR on this scope unless you shorten the truss tubes. I made some replacement tubes from aluminum tubing I bought from a hardware store for this reason. Check out wwwdotstephenhobleydotcom for more info.
Earl N : Does this telescope track stars as the earth moves ? If so how ?Jim M : Nope...totally manual.
