I was trying to figure out how to do Astrophotography with it –  and after some serious Internet searching, I was able to fine 1 line that said how to get the adapter to work with the camera.  Hopefully by publishing this post, I can save some search and frustration efforts for other people.

Here is a picture of the Celestron 127SLT telescope that I purchased.  I chose this one based on personal feedback from people I communicate with on Twitter as well as I felt thees options would help me actually USE this telescope:

  • Maksutov-Cassegrain, which as I understand makes it more suitable for lunar and planetary viewing
  • Fully Computerized so it would be easier to find planets / stars
  • 127mm Aperture (5”)
