T adapter
      #1972877 - 11/09/07 11:30 AM

I just picked up a T mount adapter off S&S that fits my camera. I need to know what else is needed to attach it to the focuser. The adapter has female threads.

You need a T-thread nosepiece. The T-ring screws into that, then you put the whole shebang in the focuser like an eyepiece.

Everybody carries them, look under photographics accessories. Get a 2" if your focuser is that large.

Cheers,
Suk
