The combination of large aperture and shorter focal length translates to a fast f/5 focal ratio making this iteration of the NexStar telescope series ideal for wide-field astrophotography or making detailed images of the Moon. Celestron includes two eyepieces, plus an unmagnified finderscope, and stainless steel adjustable-height tripod.

is it possible to adapt a Nikon professional camera? which accessory is necessary
It is possible but not recommended due to the size and added weight of a professional camera. A smaller DSLR camera would be more stable. A Nikon T-Ring and Universal Barlow & T-Adapter (#93640) is required.
