Vepa Plus from Modern Photonics

Hi,
I have recently acquired a VEPA plus camera adapter for my canon DSLR camera to connect to my dobsonian scope.
Has anyone any advice on how to use these correctly?
More importantly, do they work for taking pictures in prime focus mode?

Hi

It looks to me like you screw the eyepiece adapter into the T-ring, then you can do prime focus photography.

There is a but! I understand that some scopes don't how enough movement in the focuser for this to work.

If you state which scope you have, someone will probably be able to tell you if it is OK.

Otherwise, just try it.
