Ultratelephoto photography is easily achieved with your telescope by purchasing this 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! NOTE: Your camera will need to be in fully manual exposure mode, although some cameras 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 Kowa T-Mount SLR Camera Adapter for Nikon F-Mount:
Initially the mount fit very snugly and provided a solid connection with the camera (used to attach an older mirror lens to Nikon D300). On day 2, the mount began to shift slightly in the camera mount whenever I focused. It is a slight twist, but a degree of loosening just the same. It is not the screw mount releasing, as I can remove the lens from the T-mount and the mount still shifts.

Comments about Kowa T-Mount SLR Camera Adapter for Nikon F-Mount:
I bought this product because it had more width than I had seen with other t mount adapters. This is a very strong product and it is very well built. I now use it to attach a telescope to my nikon camera. A great feature about this product is the set screw, allowing you to adjust the vertical profile of whatever you decide to attach to it. Item also has a red indicator dot to align with the lens indicator dot on the camera for easy attachment to the camera. Definitely worth the extra money

Just what I needed to connect a generic Slide Copier to my Nikon D-700. Nice snug fit and I'm now able to digitize my old slides from the 1970's - take them into Photoshop - and tweak them as needed. I also digitize my Stereo / 3D Slides and then convert them into anaglyphs.
