Telescope Adapters for Nikon Cameras

The "Digi-Kit" system is designed for consumer Point & Shoot type cameras that do not have a removable lens. Cameras of this type must be used "Afocally" (they must shoot through an eyepiece to form an image). Our Digi-Kits fit many popular cameras and many common eyepieces.

Please see our Digi-Kits page for full details on this adapter system.

T-Rings
for Nikon SLR & DSLR Cameras

A "T-Ring" couples your SLR or DSLR camera body to a T-Adapter or other "T" threaded camera mount. The internal thread is known as "T" or "T2" and is 42mm .75" pitch. Please see our T-Mounts/T-Rings page for compatible T threaded adapters or see our complete money saving kits below.

If your scope accepts 2" eyepieces consider our True-2 adapter, if your scope accepts 1.25" eyepieces this is the way to go. The included parts will allow you to couple your SLR or DSLR camera to a standard 1.25" eyepiece port for "prime focus" astrophotography. The money saving combo includes our popular 1.25" prime focus adapter (#T125) packaged along with the appropriate T-Ring for your brand of camera. Parts are "T" threaded for compatibility with many other adapters. All parts are aluminum with an anodized black finish.

Astrophotography Kits (1.25")
for Nikon SLR & DSLR Cameras

Here is everything you need for both "Prime Focus" and "Eyepiece Projection" astrophotography packaged together in one money saving easy to purchase kit. Fits any telescope with a standard 1.25" eyepiece port.

Included in this kit: Our fixed "Eyepiece Projection" adapter with integral "Prime Focus" adapter, a T-Ring to fit your brand of camera and a parfocalizing ring. The "Parfocalizing Ring" lets you to match an eyepiece to your cameras focus point for easier high power focusing.

NOTE: The eyepiece upper barrel can be no larger than 1.5" in diameter. Fits most Plossl eyepieces up to 26mm FL.
Please see our Premium Kits below if you want to use larger "premium" 1.25" eyepieces.

Deluxe Astrophotography Kits (1.25")
for Nikon SLR & DSLR Cameras

Here is everything you need for both "Prime Focus" and "Eyepiece Projection" astrophotography packaged together in one money saving easy to purchase kit. Fits any telescope with a standard 1.25" eyepiece port.

Included in this kit: Our "Variable Eyepiece Projection" adapter with integral "Prime Focus" adapter, a T-Ring to fit your brand of camera and a parfocalizing ring. The "Variable" feature lets you adjust the adapter length to vary the magnification (thus image size) for perfect framing of your shots. The "Parfocalizing Ring" lets you to match an eyepiece to your cameras focus point for easier high power focusing.

NOTE: The eyepiece upper barrel can be no larger than 1.5" in diameter. Fits most Plossl eyepieces up to 26mm FL.
Please see our Premium Kits below if you want to use larger "premium" 1.25" eyepieces.

The True-2 adapter goes directly from Bayonet mount to 2" barrel.
Bypassing the Restrictive T-Ring


This increases the clear aperture from 1.5" to 1.85"
There is zero shading of the CCD sensor.

Available with or without safety Undercut on barrel.

As the CCD chips in our DSLR cameras get larger it is ever more important to have an unobstructed light path to prevent vignetting. The manufacturers of high end scopes wisely put 2" eyepiece ports on them. Why then do we insist on putting a 1.5" bottleneck before your camera?

T-Rings have been around for decades, a legacy standard as outdated as 300 baud modems. They exist not because they are the best solution for imaging, but because they are the best solution for manufacturing. After all it's much easier to spin a standard thread on all adapters, regardless of telescope port size or camera brand. The T-Ring may be convenient but it is simply out of its league on a scope with a 2" eyepiece port.. especially with a camera that can take advantage of it.

True-2 is a true 2" prime focus adapter that takes you directly from the bayonet mount to a 2" barrel with as few wasted photons as is possible, adding as much as 10mm more clear aperture over legacy adapters! The largest clear aperture of any adapter on the market. And it costs little more than you would spend on a T-Ring and a quality 2" T-adapter. Baffled to reduce reflections and threaded for 2" eyepiece filters. Now also available with or without an undercut on the barrel (hey some people love them, some hate them). Don't choke the photons out of your camera with an inferior adapter.

Q: What's an undercut?
A: An undercut is a machined groove around the 2" part of the barrel where the thumb screw (or compression ring) makes contact with the adapter. The groove is a safety retention device to help prevent accidents should your focuser thumbscrew be a little loose, this can even happen due to a temperature change. Some people love them and others hate them. Generally either will work fine, it is more a matter of personal preference.

Q: I have a Meade (or Celestron) SCT telescope and would like to have the benefits of this adapter but my scope only accepts 1.25" eyepieces. Is there any way I can use this adapter?
A: If your SCT is not already setup to accept 2" eyepieces and accessories you will need a 2" Rear Port Adapter, this item threads onto the large thread on the rear cell of your scope and converts it to a standard 2" eyepiece port. The TRUE-2 will slide directly into this port.

Q: I have a Meade (or Celestron) SCT telescope. Will this adapter thread directly on to the rear cell of my scope?
A: The TRUE-2 will not thread directly onto the rear of an SCT scope, It has a 2" barrel just like a 2" eyepiece and inserts into a 2" eyepiece port. If your SCT is not setup to accept 2" eyepieces you will need a 2" Rear Port Adapter. This is actually better than if it threaded on to the scope directly as it allows you to very quickly and easily install and remove the camera during a session. It also gives you absolute freedom in positioning the camera radially for the best framing of your shot.

Q: Will this adapter fit my spotting scope (or microscope)?
A: The TRUE-2 adapter is for astronomical type telescopes equipped with 2" eyepiece ports. It will not fit spotting scopes or microscopes. If you need help selecting the proper adapter just send us an email. Please include camera and scope models.
