If only every instructional video on KZfaq were this clear and waffle-free. Frankly, I wish the Brits made all the videos of this type. Really appreciated. Thank you!

Great video. I have a similar setup with a Wony alpha 7, but still trying to get it to focus. I own the celestron starsense 10in dobsonian

Hi Andagape, telescopes that are more visual orientated tend to have the focal place optimised for eyepieces and not cameras with the sensor set back into a camera body. The only way to resolve this is to install a lower profile focuser or move the primary mirror further up the tube.

Truly great presentation and I (as a newbie) was able to understand everything you said (NOT even close to common on KZfaq films), great pedagogical talent!!! I have a questions regarding your statement about that beginner telescopes might not be able to reach focus due to the design. I am planning to get a Sky-Watcher Explorer 200 PDS to be used with a Canon EOS 70D and an HEQ5 Pro mount. Will I be able to get focus on that setup? Many thanks in advance!

I have a Canon EOS R50 and an Astromaster 130eq-md. I have a one piece t-adapter/ring that works great with my husband's 80azs, but not at all with mine. I know I'm missing the piece you spoke of to help me achieve focus, I'd appreciate any recommendations. Also, the barlow 2x he has made everything worse. Thank you and your video was very helpful!

Good video for beginners that Chris, nice job. I used to have a skywatcher 150p and could reach focus with a Canon 450d and with a zwo asi120mc-s also when imaging. Not got the scope anymore but info if anyone needs it

Hey thanks Lee! Yes it's good to point this out :) it's a common misconception that you absolutely need the PDS version but the black diamond livery Sky-Watcher 150p, 200p etc will also reach prime focus with cameras. The older Blue tube version doesn't though surprisingly! The PDS just has nice imaging extras such as the dual speed focuser, larger secondary to reduce vignetting and a slightly shorter tube so it more conveniently reaches focus with cameras.

Great video Chris! I'm considering getting a Newtonian. I'm concerned about collimation as I'll be using it a a field scope. I hear an f4 system can be a nightmare and I should stick to a more conservative f5 system. Which one have you got and what are your thoughts? Clear skies Mark

Thanks Chris!! Just wondering if you can recommend a t-ring for a fujifilm xT-200? I just purchased a refractor and wasn’t sure. Thank you!!

Is it a big difference to use a 2'' focuser instead of a 1 1/4?

Can i connect dslr t ring (thin one) to mirrorless camera??.. because the focal plane of my telescope is very close to the end of focuser so it wont het focused if there's much gap between the sensor and focuser end

Hi Arty, it's needs to be a T-ring made for your specific camera. Most Mirrorless camera T-rings are the long type but it's worth searching for low profile T-rings for your specific camera incase somewhere sells these.

@@ArtyDc600 no, there are t-rings for different brands not just because of different lengths for the backfocus, but Most importantly, they are different adapters. You cannot put a canon adapter to a sony-e mount It's like trying to screw a 5mm nut on to a 10mm bolt haha You need the t-ring adapters that are specifically made for your camera brand
