Ultra-telephoto photography is easily achieved with your telescope by purchasing this Celestron T-mount Adapter, along with the SLR camera adapter which works with your telescope. 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 this 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.

Comments about Celestron T-Mount SLR Camera Adapter for Sony & Minolta AF:
This is my first 1 Star review.
When attaching a Camera it is never completely steady and tends to turn around.
With a Sony A-100 body this was OK but with my Sony A-850 with extra batter grip it was a different story. It was hard to keep the scope and camera steady, do manual focus and then press the shutter.
The biggest problem is that actually the ring inside the adapter came lose and my camera did drop onto the lawn.
Not something I wan to repeat and I think I will use my compact camera from now on through the eyepiece.

This adapter has quality construction. Unfortunately it does not fit my very old Minolta SRT 101.
