Hello All,
Sorry for the basic question but I do need help.
My father has purchased a swarovski ATS 80 HD and we have been trying to connect his Canon 10D and my 20D to it.
Being a keen astrophotographer I purchased a swarovski adapter to allow my astro 1 1/4 pieces of kit to be used with the scope. The problem with this is when we try to achieve prime focus we do not have enough inward travel on the scope. We have managed to do eyepiece projection using this method but with limited results.
We has used the scope with a smaller digital camera looking through the 20-60x eyepiece but this adapter is a little flimsy for the Canons.
We are wanting a goos solid method of attaching the camera to the scope. We would prefer to use the scope as the lens (prime photography) but would settle for eyepice projection.
I have seen something on the american sites called a TLS 800 is this what we are lookinf for?? If so best place in UK to purchase would also be helpfull.
Thanks in advance
Paul
