Actual picture of the moon with my NEX3 and Telescope March 2013
Recently I purchased a Celstron 127SLT Telescope and also purchased what is called a T-Adapter for my Sony NEX 3 Camera. 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”)
