[Upcycle It] Stay focused in the sky #3: T Ring for the camera to connect with telescope

Hi there, one of the latest adquisitions for the project was the T ring fro the camera.

This is the first time that I try it and it works super cool.

 

Some of the expected changes are:

- There is no more autofocus from the camera, it is necessary to make focus with the telescope.

- The F is fixed and not possible to modify it.

- The zoom is fixed and some extra accesories might be necessary to have extra zoom.

Here we have some of the pictures initially taken with daylight with the new accesories.

    Remote shutter and instant transfer the pictures to a NAS for storage and processing. 

     

    I like it. Edison is perfect for this kind of project.

    Brings back many fond memories of my astrophotography days.

     

    I hope you plan to use a remote shutter control.  The extra weight of the camera is going to make the tube more sensitive to touching.
