Telescope Reviews: Re: A focusing question

As long as you can get the adapter to fit your camera.

The Stiletto helps you to focus your SCOPE, not the camera. You must be able to remove your camera lens, as if you are shooting at prime focus (no lens). In such a case, you do not focus the camera lens, but instead you are focusing with the scope, since that now acts as your camera lens.

The way the Stiletto works is that you attach the Stiletto INSTEAD of your camera, and focus on a bright star. Your camera is not used at all.
Then after you find the focus, you swap out the Stiletto with your camera, and now your camera is all focused. So the only thing is.. does the Stiletto manufacturer make an adapter that is the SAME style that you currently use between your scope and your camera.

If however, you have a CCD camera with a fixed lens, then you may have a problem.

As far as astro CCD cameras like S.B.I.G., Starlight XPress, Meade, SAC, and some others, then yes, it will work well.
