Do you have your camera set to auto? The camera needs to be set to a manual setting. On my Nikon, I have an M (manual) setting next the the auto, landscape, etc... Double check which setting you have it on.You have to do some of the focusing on the telescope, too. The same way you would focus without the camera is how you would focus your camera. We had to look all of this up, too.

I'm having the same problem. Its got to do with camera setup though. Plain eyesight via barlow and 25mm looks great and crisp

I am Sorry i forget to Include this Information with My Response! Be Sure to Include a f-Stop Increase to being thing into Focus Also! This is Very Important Too! It is Something You Have To Experiment with to get Correct! Not Hard to Do, Just Use Live View on your Camera and Play with it from there! This Aspect is Very Tricky for Focusing and Experience will be Needed to some degree!

Did you get satisfactory answer? I have the same issue of not being able to focus.[edit] It looks like Cavalier Guy has the correct answer, but I did not understand it when I first read it; and the Celestron site also says this: " the 93640 inserts in to 1.25 focusers The built-in barlow lens can be removed and some telescopes will not focus properly without barlow.From what I've learned, this is key.. the addition of the barlow lens allows the image to be focused on the camera sensor.The 93625 (which is what i've been trying to use) does not include the barlow lens element.

I bought the item for my Nikon D90 and you should contact a camera shop for the straight skinny. By the way, it is one of two parts needed to connect your camera to your telescope. The adapter fits onto another part that is directly attached to the telescope as you would an eyepiece.

There is no magnification with this T-Adapter is good for prime focus....where your camera is receiving light directly from the telescope...the "magnification" will be from the scope itself and no eyepieces...if you want magnification...you need a T adapter that will allow for use with a barlow lens...which is mainly used for planets...as deep sky objects are far too big

I really can't help with this. I did take a picture of the moon with my "point and shoot" camera by just pointing it through the eyepiece and it was quite successful. I think it is possible to buy attachments that will allow one to attach a DSLR in place of the eyepiece and take pictures, but I have never tried that - would need some research.

Yes, you can see the Moon with the 09881 Observer 70 refractor! It comes with two eyepieces giving you 28x, 70x. You may want more magnification so we suggest getting the Orion 2x Shorty Barlow. It goes where you usually put the eyepiece and then the eyepiece goes in the back of the Barlow tem # 08711. If the Moon is too bright for comfort you might consider our 25% Moon filter that will screw into the silver end of either eyepiece Item # 05598. All the best!

What type of scope were you using it on? My DSLR comes into perfect focus. You really do not want to use this to image Jupiter anyway - you should use a 4X barlow, to make it bigger, not a focal reducer to make it smaller.

A camera adapter as well as individual adapters for Nikon, Canon DSLR, etc are listed as options for this telescope on the web site. So I assume it's possible. But I don't have those adapters, never tried them, so I can not give you more info.

What type of T-adapter are you using between your T-Ring and the eyepiece socket of your telescope?I'm using a T-adapter that allows me to insert an eyepiece in the adapter. Without the eyepiece installed (prime focus mode) I can't adjust the telescope focus adjustment far enough out (back) to get it to focus at the moon, and it barely will focus on Jupiter. With the eyepiece installed everything works fine.

Hello Kamal, You will first need a Nikon t-ring and Celestron sells one and the part number is 93402. You will then need to purchase the Celestron Edge 8 t-adapter 93644. With this combo you can shoot the moon and do some short exposures of bright deep sky objects. For more serious work in photographing the deep sky you will want to purchase an autoguider and a separate guidescope and dovetail plate to work with this telescope. The Celestron part numbers are as follows: 94216, and 52309, as well as 93713. You will probably have to add an extra counterweight if you go that route and that is part number 94203. For planetary photography I would recommend Televue's 4x Powermate part number PMT-4201 along with their t-ring adapter for that amplifier which is part number PTR-4201. You will of coarse need the Nikon t-ring that I mentioned before to make it work with your camera. I hope that this was helpful! Best, Dave High Point Scientific

I have done astrophotography with my Canon Rebel T1i this using something like Deluxe Telescope Camera Adapter Kit for Canon EOS /Rebel DSLR - 1.25" Variable Eyepiece Projection & Prime Focus Be advised the telescope becomes rather ungainly with a DSLR hanging off of it.

You have to have a T-ring adapter for your camera and a separate T-ring that fits into your telescope, the two adapters together only run about $20. Well worth the money if you own a DSLR camera

I don't have an exact answer for your first question, but If you go to the website of the seller, there is a picture that shows how you can set this up with you telescope and camera. The t-ring attaches to your DSLR in place of a normal lens. Then you have the t adapter that goes in the 1.25" focuser of your telescope. Your t ring that is attached to your camera then screws into the t adapter so that your camera is now coupled with your telescope. The other tube is for extending the focal length for afocal projection. This can be useful if you have a Newtonian reflector which often times have issues achieving focus when your camera is attached directly to the focuser with just the t ring and t adapter. I hope this helps you out!

You need to get a wedge from Celestron if you want to do astrophotography. It essentially converts the 8SE mount to an equatorial mount.

It should work with your telescope. I have a 70mm refractor telescope and have used the celestron digital camera adapter with it to take photos of the moon with a point and shoot digital camera.

http://www.celestron.com/browse-shop/astronomy/astroimaging-accessories/t-rings-and-adapters/t-ring-for-canon-eos-camera you need ITEM # 93419 from celestron

I wouldn't, unless you have a really extravagant and solid and extremely heavy (and costly) tripod to give extreme stability to your telescope. And maybe not even then. This Barlow gets in really tight, and even a very slight breeze will knock it out of focus or cause vibrations if you use this coupled with a zoom. Tighter is not always better. I have a Celestron zoom and this Barlow as well. I use them both. But I don't use them together. Hope this helps. Great question!

It will fit the telescope but not your camera . the adapter only works with SLR cameras (I.e. ones with exchangeable lenses)
