Digital camera reviews of ETX Camera Adapter #64,
(requires separate T-mt. adapter)
Digital camera Review: Use your ETX telescope as a telephoto camera lens.
Summary: 4 Stars
The ETX Camera Adapter #64 screws into the port at the back of tour ETX telescope. You can use it with the ETX90, ETX105, and ETX125 telescope or spotting scope to attach your 35mm film camera. There is one thing you still need, a T-ring for your specific camera's bayonet or screw mount. The adapter can be adjusted for a longer or shorter focal length by removing or replacing one of the two tubes that screw into each other. Due to the ETXs' long focal length and "slow" optics (f/14-f/15), exposures will need to be longer than with a normal lens, or faster telescope. This means your mount needs to be very sturdy. A cheap tripod may not be adequate. Also, since this adapter gives no provision for guiding, long exposure astrophotos (with the telescopes) will be impractical. One could mount a ETX90 piggyback on an ETX125... but a different arrangement would probably make more sense. But this adapter is great for birder, or to shoot the moon, or the brighter planets. Or tor those long distance shots, where you can't get close enough to your target. You can also shoot the sun with an appropriate solar filter (remove the finder before attempting this, or you could burn/blind yourself, as well as cook your finder).
Summary of ETX Camera Adapter #64,
(requires separate T-mt. adapter)
The #64 T-Adapter is the basic means of photography through the a 90mm ETX-Series telescope. The adapter threads to the rear cell of the telescope. The adapter is then followed by an optional T-Mount (available separately) appropriate to your brand of 35mm camera. With the #64 T-Adapter and T-Mount in place, the camera body is rigidly coupled to the telescope's optical system, which in effect becomes the camera's lens.
