Celestron SLR (35mm OR Digital) Camera Adapter for All Refractor and Reflector Telescopes which Accept 1.25" Eyepieces - Requires Camera-Specific T-Mount Adapter
Ultratelephoto photography is easily achieved with your telescope by purchasing this SLR camera adapter. You'll need to take precautions to minimize vibrations, such as locking up the mirror if possible as well as using a cable release or remote control to fire the shutter.
First, remove the eyepiece. Next, attach the SLR camera adapter where the eyepiece would normally be attached to the telescope, and screw in a t-mount adapter to the opposite end of the SLR camera adapter. Now you can attach your camera to the t-mount and you are ready to begin taking pictures!
Note! Your camera will need to be in fully manual exposure mode, although some brands of camera may also work in aperture-priority autoexposure mode. Additionally, if there is a switch on the camera which chooses the focus mode, that switch must indicate manual focusing.

I bought this as part of a setup to take pictures with my new 90mm refractor. This is my first attempt at astrophotography so I'm pleased with the simplicity of this adaptor. I especially like the fact that there are threads in the inside diameter of the 1.25" tube to accept filters such as for photographing the moon etc. On the larger end, it accepts short focal length eyepieces without interfering with the T-ring and DSLR. The set screw visible in the item picture is for holding the eyepiece in place so you don't have to worry about it slipping into the camera or moving out of focus. The only downside is that once the T-ring adaptor is screwed on, that set screw is pretty hard to get to. That's not such a big deal since the assembly has to be removed from the camera to remove the eyepiece anyway.

Comments about Celestron SLR (35mm OR Digital) Camera Adapter:
I found this frustrating at first. but then again this is my first time in astrophotography. this is used with a nikon d3100 and a celestron astromaster 130eq and the f mount adapter. there is little to no support documentation for this stuff. just connecting to the scope will not allow focus. what I had to do was insert the 10mm eyepiece into the adapter and use a 2x teleconverter. you may also be able to use a barlow adapter. all said and done the setup works well.

Comments about Celestron SLR (35mm OR Digital) Camera Adapter:
With the T-mount adapter for my Canon 50D this product did not work for my Celestron scope. Everything fit fine and the build was cheap, but worked, however no amount of fiddling would produce a focused image. I am now looking for other options. Very disappointed.

Comments about Celestron SLR (35mm OR Digital) Camera Adapter:
My camera was built in the 1970s, so it's much heavier than most new cameras. Although this adapter works as expected it doesn't feel very sturdy compared to the other adapter that replaces the visual back.

Comments about Celestron SLR (35mm OR Digital) Camera Adapter:
It is threaded to hold 1.25" filters, such as O-III, LPR or a grating for spectroscopy. The other end threads to a T-ring mount. It is rigid and works fine. It does what it is supposed to do, no less, no more. It does it well. The only thing that could be added is a set-screw groove make it harder to remove from the telescope focuser.
