ORION SteadyPix Universal Camera Mount

Orion SteadyPix Universal Camera Mount

Couples the camera to any telescope for Through-the-Eyepiece photos of the moon and planets !

This nifty device holds virtually any digital or film camera up to the eyepiece of the telescope to capture images of the Moon, planets, bright deep-sky objects, or terrestrial subjects. An improvement over existing designs, SteadyPix locks the camera lens in position at just the right distance and orientation relative to the eyepiece to achieve precise focus and centering of the image for afocal photography.

SteadyPix attaches directly to any standard 1.25" telescope eyepiece with one or two felt-lined eyepiece clamps provided (for standard or large size 1.25" eyepieces). The camera threads onto a 1/4"-20 pedestal via the threaded hole in the camera body.

Eyepieces with long eye relief are recommended to minimize vignetting of images.The Orion Epic or Lanthanum series (standard, not Superwides) eyepieces are ideal. Fits 1.25" eyepieces only.

Camera and telescope are NOT included !
