Use your ETX telescope as a telephoto camera lens.2003-09-22
The ETX Camera Adapter #64 screws into the port at the back of tour ETX telescope. You can use it with the ETX90, ETX105, and ETX125 telescope or spotting scope to attach your 35mm film camera. There is one thing you still need, a T-ring for your specific camera's bayonet or screw mount. The adapter can be adjusted for a longer or shorter focal length by removing or replacing one of the two tubes that screw into each other. Due to the ETXs' long focal length and "slow" optics (f/14-f/15), exposures will need to be longer than with a normal lens, or faster telescope. This means your mount needs to be very sturdy. A cheap tripod may not be adequate. Also, since this adapter gives no provision for guiding, long exposure astrophotos (with the telescopes) will be impractical. One could mount a ETX90 piggyback on an ETX125... but a different arrangement would probably make more sense. But this adapter is great for birder, or to shoot the moon, or the brighter planets. Or tor those long distance shots, where you can't get close enough to your target. You can also shoot the sun with an appropriate solar filter (remove the finder before attempting this, or you could burn/blind yourself, as well as cook your finder).

Digital camera batteries

Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes.

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs.
