Meade LX200 / LX90 DSLR Camera Attachment Kit

Description

Get started with astrophotography on your Meade LX200 or LX90 telescope.  The LX200 and LX90 telescopes f/10 focal ratio makes them difficult to take long exposure photos with your DSLR Nikon or DSLR Canon EOS camera - that's why we included the Meade f/6.3 focal reducer to make the telescope "faster" for optimum use for astrophotography. 

Simple to get started

To use, simply thread on the Focal Reducer to the rear-cell of the LX200 or LX90 telescope.  Followed by threading the T-Adapter onto the Focal-Reducer.  Finally, replace your cameras lens with either the Nikon or Canon EOS T-Ring to allow connection to the T-Adapter.

Importance of a shutter-release cable

It is important to use a Shutter Release cable with your camera.  You will not want to take your exposures by pressing your shutter button on your camera body - this will produce vibration.  A remote shutter release cable was either included with your camera, or is easily available and inexpensive from any local camera store.
