Hi Ken Great little video and thanks for making it. I just bought a S/H Cannon EOS 450D and a Cannon T-Ring adapter but thought I must have been missing something. It never occurred to me that the eye-piece barrel was threaded and it was as simple as unscrewing it from the focuser. Thank you so much for sharing this info. Really looking forward to getting out and taking some pictures now. Best Regards KDalley Cornwall, UK
As it is not very closely approximates. I have the 600mm lens as well. Another interesting thing! Why many put long extensions as much as 15 cm long? As seen through the long adapter 1/2 for which such decisions? I just bought Dobson 10" and puzzled how best to connect the camera, as all are connected in different ways! Use a long adapter with adjustment and wind through Barlow lens. If you know tell me!
Hi ken I have the skywatcher 10 " dobsonion and just bought a t ring and t adapter you never used a t adapter i thought you had to use one also is it possible to use a Barlow lense to get a closer image of the moon I'm new to astrophotography many thanks
Nuda I have the same problem. Apparently this can be fixed by using a 2x barlow. It extends out the focal plane, I'm going to test this out as soon as I can.
Morning Sim , After you attach your Camera , all you have to do is increase the tension on the two side handles where the scope is connected to the base .
only if you do it like he did in the video. Otherwise you would have to get a low profile focuser OR shorten the OTA by 1 - 2 inches (wouldnt reccommend.)
Pretty straight forward Telescope/DSLR. No complicated accessories.

+Pchel T Because with the adapter you can use eyepieces inside.
Clear! Ordered some adapters. I will try!

Thanks for the video. Are there ways to have a similar setup but higher magnification? (such as using a barlow?)
I have the exactly same problem that you have... I can't decide what's best.
Can these telescope mounts handle professional Full body DLSR such as a Nikon D4s?
I can't decided between the 8" orion or skywatcher dobsonian...

Hey Ken how do you balance the dobson when connect it with dslr?

Hi, Im using a D3100, but getting the error 'Lens not attached' any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
I've heard that that error message occurs when you're not in manual mode on the camera. You need to be in manual mode
my canon 1300d when at prime focus with my dob gives a message that exposure cannot be set as there is no lens. What can be done?
I use a canon 600D. You have to switch your camera to manual setting
So the 200/1200 has enough backfocus to be used with dslr??
