Question 1

I want to understand one thing, what is the magnification that I will get from this T adaptor with my Canon 650D?

Accepted Answer

When talking about photography the proper term is not magnification, but scale factor.  Scale factor is a linear function of focal length alone, which is  a property of the optics you connect this to. Sometimes "magnification" is rated in terms of the ratio of the focal length of telescope to a 50 mm lens.  If your telescope has a focal length of 900 mm and an f-ratio of 10, (90 mm, f/10) then your "magnification" is 900/50 = 18 times!

What you can see will depend on the pixel pitch of your camera, the "seeing" (atmospheric conditions) on the night you go out, and critically, on how well you can focus.  Start out with the moon, and practice focusing!

Good luck, and clear skies!

Question 2

Will this fit on a Celestron StarSense dx130?

Accepted Answer

No, it’s made to fit a SCT telescope.

Question 3

Will this kit work with a celestron nexstar slt 130 (newtonian) and a nikon d7100?

Accepted Answer

No.  This adapter is specifically for SCT models.  You need Celestron Item #: 93625, the 'universal' adapter, which fits the eyepiece holder.  You'll also need the T-ring for Nikon.

Question 4

Will This work on my Celestron C6? Will it allow me to move the camera to take vertical shots and lock it in?

Accepted Answer

yes it should, its universal to celestron telescopes..Im looking at mine now, and it seems to be universal, did you get your t-ring...the t-ring will allow the camera to be attached. I know I forgot the t-ring when I got my adaptor..My telescope is the C8, so it should work.. let me know, but get the t-ring, it goes by camera model.. Like mine is a Cannon, so I had to get a Cannon t-ring that attaches to the adapter...it also only works if your able to remove your leses from your camera, there is another mount that you can use if your using a point and shoot camera.. most sincerely,Lizzy
