TS-Optics 1.25" direct adapter for Sony and Minolta DSLR cameras

TS Optics 1.25" direct adapter for Sony and Minolta DSLR cameras - adapter for astrophotography through the telescope with your Sony or Minolta camera

Connect your Sony or Minolta SLR camera directly to your telescope and use the telescope as a powerful telephoto lens. The adapter fits all 1.25" focusers and also fits 2" focusers via the reduction to 1.25". On the other hand, you can connect your Nikon DSLR camera directly. There is also a filter thread on the 1.25" filter on the side of the telescope or for our 2.6x Path Compensation glass.

The adapter consists of 2 parts:

♦ TSFA1 - 1.25" T2 Adapter

♦ Sony/Minolta T-ring with T2 female thread

What telescopes you can use with your SLR camera:

♦ any refractor with a 1.25" or 2" connection on the focuser

♦ any Cassegrain, Schmidt-Cassegrain, or Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope

♦ any larger Newtonian telescope. The smallest Newtonians have very little focuser-to-focus distance, so you wouldn't be able to focus the camera. Then you need our TSGWK26.

Accessories recommendation:

The TSGWK26 allows you to focus the camera with telescopes that are not actually designed for DSLR photography. The sharpening (focus) plane is set farther away so you can focus the camera. The magnification is increased by a factor of 2.6x.
