Just say NO to T-Rings! As the CCD chips in our DSLR cameras get larger it is ever more important to have an unobstructed light path to prevent vignetting. The manufacturers of high end scopes wisely put 2" eyepiece ports on them. Why then do we insist on putting a 1.5" bottleneck between your camera and telescope? Answer: T-Rings have been around for decades, a legacy standard as outdated as 300 baud modems. They exist not because they are the best solution for imaging, but because they are the best solution for manufacturing. After all it's much easier to spin a standard thread on all adapters, regardless of telescope port size or camera brand. The T-Ring may be convenient but it is simply out of its league on a scope with a 2" eyepiece port. True-2TM is a true 2" prime focus adapter that takes you directly from the cameras bayonet mount to a 2" Barrel with as few wasted photons as is possible, adding as much as 10mm more clear aperture over legacy adapters! The largest clear aperture of any adapter on the market. And it costs little more than you would spend on a quality T-Ring and 2" T-adapter. Baffled to reduce reflections and threaded for 2" eyepiece filters. Now also available with or without an undercut on the barrel. Don't choke the photons out of your camera with an inferior adapter! This listing fits all Nikon Film or Digital SLR & DSLR Cameras including (digital models) D1, D2, D3, D3S, D3X, D35, D40, D40X, D50, D60, D70, D80, D90, D100, D200, D300, D300S, D700, D3000, D3100, D5000, D7000. We also carry TRUE-2 Adapters for most other SLR/DSLR cameras on our website. Inquire for more info.
Attaches a Nikon Nikkor mount camera to any camera adapter threaded to accept T-Rings. Durable construction with standardized threading provedes you with a secure way to attach your camera to all standard telescope T-adapters. Use this T-Ring in conjunction with the Zhumell Camera adapter for astrophotography using any telescope which accepts 1.25" format eyepieces.
ATN Day/ Night Scope Adapter Mount NVM14 Flip-up Adapter, Insert for many scopes and telescopes
For close coupling cameras and CCD Imagers with 1.25" Powermate Barlow Lenses. For imaging , the user simply unscrews the eyepiece holder barrel and screws on the T-Ring Adapter instead
This handy adapter threads into our Orion Imaging Flip Mirror (sold separately) to allow use with 1.25â?A sized astro-imaging cameras; such as our StarShoot Solar System Imager, StarShoot Planetary Imager & AutoGuider, and our StarShoot USB and Video Eyepieces (imaging cameras and eyepieces sold separately). Once installed on the Orion Imaging Flip Mirror, this 1.25â?A Camera Adapter enables you to acquire and focus an object using a 1.25â?A telescope eyepiece while an astrophotography camera with 1.25â?A nosepiece barrel is attached to the same telescope. Youâ?TMll be amazed at how easy it is to achieve optimal focus for imaging with smaller cameras when using the Flip Mirror and Camera Adapter combination. Once the 1.25â?A Imaging Flip Mirror Camera Adapter is installed on the Flip Mirror, simply insert your imaging cameraâ?TMs 1.25â?A nosepiece into the adapter and secure in-place using the adapterâ?TMs thumbscrew. You can then place any preferred 1.25â?A telescope eyepiece into the upper 1.25â?A holder on the Flip Mirror, and manipulate the flip switch to alternate between the imaging camera and eyepiece. Using the eyepiece, focus the view, then switch back to the imaging camera to capture an exposure. Your snapshots and extended exposures will conveniently be in focus! The Orion 1.25â?A Imaging Flip Mirror Camera Adapter is made of black anodized aluminum, and features a thumbscrew for secure installation of imaging cameras with a 1.25â?A nosepiece barrel.
