Using a Fuji F11

[Tony Lewis]

I am considering buying a Fuji F11.
Any ideas what adapter I could use to attach it to an Opticron Imagic80 telescope fitted with the 32x eyepiece? I would prefer a "sleeve" type attachment.
Is it possible to get a cable release for the F11?

Thanks

Hi Tony, I made my own adapter - which is not a sleeve type, but I see that opticron do one that clamps around the eyepiece and screws into the camera base.

An important factor I have found using the Fuji (F10 in my case), is that unlike many cameras mentioned on these forums, best results are ofte obtained when the camera is mounted a little way off the eyepiece lens. This amount varies depending upon the eyepiece in use. I have found that between 4~5mm and 12~15mm covers the optimum distances on my own gear. (Opticron 18x and 32x eyepiece & Meade binoculars).
