The #62 T-Adaptor is the simplest way of connecting an SLR camera body to an SCT. It provides a rigid, direct connection (using a T-ring) for prime focus photography.

The Variable Projection Tele-extender is designed for eyepiece projection photography at the rear cell of an SCT. A sliding mechanism enables the distance from the eyepiece to the film plane to be varied thus changing the size of the image. The effect can be likened to zooming and is particularly useful in high-resolution lunar and planetary imaging.

It can be used with most plossl and similar-sized eyepieces up to about 25mm in focal length.

• MEADE 07356

Use this adaptor to connect any 35 mm camera body to most telescopes with a 1.25" eyepiece fitting. Depending on the position of the telescope focal plane it can be used for direct or eyepiece projection photography. It presents a standard T-thread to the camera body; T-rings to make the final connection are available for all popular brands of camera.

• MEADE 07361

The Variable Projection Camera Adaptor is similar to the Basic Camera Adaptor but includes a sliding mechanism to vary the distance between the eyepiece and camera focal plane in order to adjust the size of the projected image.

• MEADE 07054

The Off-axis Guider connects an SLR camera body (via a T-ring) to the rear cell of an SCT to allow direct photography. It also incorporates a small pick-off prism near the edge of the field which feeds into an eyepiece.

By monitoring a guide star through this eyepiece the observer can correct for minor variations of telescope tracking during long exposures. The Off-Axis Guider works best with an illuminated reticle eyepiece so that very small deviations can be identified quickly and can be corrected accurately.
