Eyepiece projection adapter
      #2663197 - 09/25/08 07:15 PM

I aplogize in advance for my lack of 'insider jargon'. Ok so I'd rather spend my money on something with more sizzle than a camera adapter, but it's a necessary evil.

So which ones are better than the other?

Long Story:
I'll be using my Wife's Sony A350 (A superb camera. The 'noise reduction on long exposure' is really cool. But I digress.) So the camera is pretty d*mn heavy to be hanging off the side of my reflector telescope. (Yea I know - everyone wants to jump on the make and model. Don't bother I bought the thing at Fry's. Need I say more?)

So's I'm a little worried to have my marriag ... err ... wife's camera hanging by a couple of set screws. The screws might be cool, but in Podunk Oregon - not a lot of opportunity to actually look at the thing in real life. So I gotta use the vicarious route.

As marriage insurance – I’ve been looking at the Televue, which looks really solid but it’s like eighty bucks! That’s a slice outta my eyepiece budget.

And feedback would be most appreciated.
