Remove the lens from your camera and attach the T-ring in its place. Since the T-ring is camera-brand specific, it will snap right on just like a lens. Next, remove the diagonal and visual back from the rear cell of your telescope. Screw the Celestron T-Adapter onto the rear cell threads until secure. Now, thread the T-ring & camera onto the T-Adapter. That’s all there is to it. The camera is now using your telescope as a giant telephoto lens. The magnification will depend on the telescope’s focal length. For instance, a 300 mm camera lens is considered to be pretty powerful, right? Well, if you are using an 8” SCT at prime focus, you’ve got yourself a 2000 mm lens with a lot of light-gathering capability!

Prime focus photography is popular for short exposure images of terrestrial objects as well as celestial objects like the Moon. If you want to do longer exposures of deep sky objects with this method, we suggest using a separate guidescope or off-axis guider and an equatorial mount.

A T-ring is used to connect your DSLR camera to a telescope.

Select the T-Ring which matches your camera type in much the same way you need to get the correct lens to attach to it. (Nikon, Canon EOS, Sony etc)

This BINTEL T-Ring is for Nikon DSLR camera bodies.

One end of the T-Ring connects to your camera body in place of the lens and the other end connects to the telescope. Some telescopes may already have a "T-thread" connector while others may require a camera connector.

BINTEL can help with the best way to attach a camera to your telescope.

A Visual Back is a metal adapter that screws onto the standard rear cell threads of Schmidt-Cassegrain and Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes and accepts 1.25” accessories, including diagonals, eyepieces (for straight-through viewing), Barlows, webcams, and any other accessory with a 1.25” insert barrel.

All Celestron 5”, 6”, 8”, 9.25” and 11” Schmidt-Cassegrains come standard with the 1.25” Visual Back.

To use 2” diagonals on a Celestron 5” - 11” Schmidt-Cassegrain, remove the visual back and thread on a 2” diagonal made especially for Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, such as the Celestron 2” XLT Diagonal (#93527).

An extension tube can also be used for increasing image scale when doing projection photography.

To achieve the best astroimages, it is important to attain the proper back-focus distance for your camera relative to the telescope it is being used with. If the back-focus distance your camera consumes is not exact, the performance at the corners of full frame imaging sensors will suffer—stars will appear elongated and not as pinpoints.
Example: RASA 8 with a ZWO ASI 183 MC PRO camera

• Required back-focus distance for RASA 8 with included M42 camera adapter: 25mm
• Back-focus consumed by ZWO ASI 183 MC PRO camera: 17.5mm
• To achieve equal back-focus distance, a 7.5mm M42 spacer ring is required

Celestron’s M42 Spacer Ring kit includes three different length spacer rings to achieve the proper back-focus distance with our popular Celestron optical tubes and T-thread camera adapters.

How to Use
Depending your method of astrophotography (DSLR or CCD/CMOS), there are two ways to use the M42 Spacer Ring. If you are using a DSLR, place the desired M42 Spacer Ring between your T-Ring and your T-Adapter for your optical tube. If you are using a CCD or CMOS camera, place the desired M42 Spacer Ring between the camera and the T-Adapter for your optical tube.

Below is a quick guide to help you determine which spacer ring to use for our EdgeHD, Schmidt-Cassegrain, and RASA 8 optical tubes:

The Tele Vue EBX-2120 2" Eyepiece Barrel Extender increases backfocus distance and provides a mounting location for 2" (48mm) eyepiece filters. It can also help parfocalize eyepiece sets. Extender adds 1.2-inches to the 2" barrel.

Models with dual 2" / 1¼" barrels can use the extender.

The EBX-2120 makes the 12mm approximately parfocal with the 17mm and 22mm Nagler Type-4 eyepieces when used in a Tele Vue 2" diagonal.

Because the field stop is located near the bottom of the chrome eyepiece barrel, you will need to rack your focuser out further, relative to most other eyepieces. If you find that you cannot rack your focuser out enough to achieve focus, Tele Vue strongly recommend you purchase the EBX-2120. This will make Tele Vue's 55mm Plössl eyepiece approximately parfocal with the Tele Vue 27mm Panoptic eyepiece.

This T-Ring fits EOS M-mount mirrorless cameras only. It will not work with other Canon camera bodies like the EOS RF-mount or EOS EF-mount model cameras without adding a Canon adapter to convert those cameras to M-mount.

A T-Ring is one of the first accessories you will need to take pictures through a telescope or spotting scope. If you have a Canon EOS mirrorless camera body, the Celestron EOS M-Mount T-Ring is the one for you.

How to Use
To use this T-Ring, place the M-Mount T-Ring on your Canon mirrorless camera. Just like changing a lens, line up the T-Ring to your camera’s lens mount. Push it in and turn until you hear a click. The T-Ring has a sturdy bayonet flange that locks for a secure fit. Once you attach the T-Ring to your camera, you’re ready to connect your telescope. The telescope side of the T-Ring has threads that accept a variety of camera adapters, including the Celestron T-Adapter. The adapter you choose depends on the type of photography you wish to do.

Body
The Canon M-Mount 42mm T-ring is machined aluminum black anodized. The internal surfaces are blackened and glare-threaded to provide the highest contrast. The T-Ring has a ribbed surface for a secure grip while threading/unthreading. The Canon M-Mount 42mm T-Ring is compatible with M42 x 0.75 (T-Thread) camera adapters.

"Flat-top" model
A flat-top model allows closer placement of the eyepiece. Use with Newtonian reflectors, Tele Vue Paracorr, 2" Powermate, and 2" Big Barlow.

These adapters allows use of 1¼" eyepieces in any 2" focuser or diagonal.

All models feature brass clamp ring or nylon-tipped set screw for secure, no-mar locking and safety undercut.

Note: We purposely do not put 2" filter threads in 2" to 1¼" adapters. The reason is to avoid your getting upset when you insert a 1¼" Barlow and it crunches your expensive 2" filter. Safety first.
