Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Orion SteadyPix Universal Camera Mount
Customer Review: Works fairly well...
Summary: 4 Stars
This isn't as good as other options for cameras with removable lenses, but is a good choice for fixed lens cameras, and works pretty well. It takes a little work to get it lined up. It needs to be as close as possible to get a fuller frame photo (this also depends on the eye relief distance of the lens). There is some danger if you use a camera with a lens that extends. If you attach the camera too closely, allowing the camera lens to extend into the telescope lens, the lens is blocked from fully extending and this can damage certain cameras. All that being said, it does do a fairly good job, and gives the option of using a telescope as a lens.
Description of Orion SteadyPix Universal Camera Mount
This nifty device holds virtually any digital or film camera up to the eyepiece of any 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 of two felt-lined eyepiece clamps provided (for standard or large-size 1.25" eyepieces). The camera threads on to 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. Our Epic or Lanthanum series (standard, not Superwides) eyepieces are ideal. Fits 1.25" eyepieces only.Eyepieces
