New Camera Adapter

I found this new camera adapter when trying to sort out some camera alignment problems I was having. I found a few forum entries on various forums where imagers were suffering the same alignment issues I had. I tracked down a shop in Aus selling these and purchased one. So far the tests I have done seems to show that my problems have been fixed. I am getting the same results with this as I was with a fully fixed connection.

Well worth a look if you suffer alignment issues. It is beautifully made and when fitted is rock solid.

That's a great idea - and like many other good ones, pretty simple!
Nice find.
Doug

By the way. It locks into the focuser so well a bomb wouldn't shift it.
The info sheet that comes with it says not to tighten the thumb screws on the focuser. You don't need to, it wont fall out on its own for sure.

Hey Doug, I can't see why you would need on of these, especially using the Tak.
My Camera is hooked up to the threaded Wide T-Mount that screws onto the Tak and the camera just fits to that, rock solid.

I presume yours would be the same, or am I missing something here.

Hi Leon, I have more than 1 scope and depending on whether I use a filter or not with the camera and the Tak.
