Great product2009-06-26
As a photographer who has always enjoyed looking up at the stars, I love the fact that there is a way to attach my camera to the telescope. It works really well.

It is very easy to attach. My suggestion would be to make sure you have a remote switch, just to help reduce the movement of the camera, since of course it will be longer exposures. Also, just make sure that the telescope is secure on the tripod and the tripod is balanced. Just anything to help reduce any movement while the camera is taking the picture.
Not for my camera2009-02-15
I talked with a Meade representative and he assured me for my camera make and model, that it would fit. However it was WAY too small.

If you have a dSLR or SLR that is 35mm, it will most likely fit. Unless you have a threaded lens or lens mount, you will need an additional adapter.
A warning...2008-08-04
Be aware.. the 64ST T-Adapter is for the Meade ETX70 ONLY. If you need one for any of the other models, you want the Meade #64 T Adapter.
Meade 64ST T Adapter2008-05-02
The Meade 64ST Adapter must be accopanied with a T Mount for your brand of camera. This piece completed the set for my telescope-to-camera perfectly!
The Comments are Largely Offbase2007-08-01
Just a little research into how this works shows that this is a two-piece system. First, something to attach to your particular model of telescope and then something to attach that piece to your particular brand of camera. Such low ratings based upon not understanding this are unjustified.

Update: I've used this (along with the appropriate adapter) with my Canon 300D and a Meade ATX70 telescope. While it's difficult to focus (sensitive controls), it produced excellent pictures. For the amount of money the adapter costs, it opens up a lot of possibilities for photography.

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages.
