Nikon adapter for TV NP127?

I've been using a standard T-ring to connect my FF DSLR to the scope, but the chip is bigger than the image that can pass through the T-ring.


It seems that TV make a larger bore (2.4" from memory) T-ring adapter for Canon, but not for Nikon.


I am wondering whether anyone could point me in the right direction to source a larger bore T-ring for Nikon please?


Cheers, Chris

Try Astrophysics as they make large T rings. Not sure if they have one for Nikon but worth a look.

Greg.

Takahashi make a M54 Nikon adapter that may be better for your needs.
