Guest recceranger Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Guys, While attending the Int Astro Show Notice a few dealers selling eyepieces that can be fixed to a DSLR and then onto a scope thus allowing higher mag imaging. This is something I would be interested in as some shots using my ED80 and D3000 set up have been tiny (M41/31 etc). Can anyone give me a steer?

T A WOW Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 You can do this very well with baader Hyperion eyepieces. I've got a load of them and a T-ring to fit them to a any Nikon D series DSLR body. I don't do any photography but a friend of mine has used my scope set up to get some very pleasing images using this method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teslar Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 +1 on the Baader Hyperions. I've got the t-ring adapter and can fit any of mine to the Cannon and get nice afocal shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi There, Similar thread on SGL. :---http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/184092-using-an-eyepiece-in-astrophotography/#entry1911873 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) Don't bother imaging with the Hyperion Zoom though. Great lens for visual but the fringing on the edges makes it poor for AP. Just learnt that the hard way. I've now started my collection of Hyperion primes. Edited May 29, 2013 by xanthic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teslar Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 True. I like the zoom for visual and flexibility it's a great EP to have in your kit. But I find the prime lenses beat it for sharpness and afocal work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest recceranger Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hi all, Been away in Mali and just back to read your replies. Very useful and thanks a mil. Will take a look at the prime, sounds like a plan. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
