Orion Universal Camera Adapters.

Universal camera adapters allow attachment of a camera body to reflector and refractor
telescopes for either prime-focus or eyepiece-projection photography (hence the term
“universal”). The adapter slides into the eyepiece holder as an eyepiece normally would.

The universal adapters are composed of two detachable parts: a prime-focus adapter (or “T-
adapter”) for prime-focus photography, and a fixed-length or variable extension tube for
eyepiece-projection photography. A thumbscrew in the extension tube holds the eyepiece in
place.

Each adapter is precision made of black-anodized aluminum and is compatible with 1.25"
focusers and many 1.25” eyepieces (some eyepieces have housing diameters that are too
large to fit inside the adapter). The barrel of the adapter is threaded for filters. A T-ring for your
specific camera model (sold separately) is required to couple your camera body to the
universal adapter.

For Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, a T-adapter and tele-extender are recommended
instead, because their threaded fittings provide a more secure coupling of the camera to the
telescope.

Variable-Power Universal Camera Adapter #5262
This combination of prime-focus and eyepiece-projection camera adapter has a sliding barrel
design that allows variable projection distances. This eliminates the need to change
eyepieces when different magnifications are desired for eyepiece-projection photography. Fits
reflector and refractor telescopes with 1.25" eyepiece holders.

Standard Universal Camera Adapter #5264
This combination of prime-focus and eyepiece-projection camera adapter has a non-variable
barrel design that allows a fixed projection distance for eyepiece-projection photography. Fits
reflector and refractor telescopes with 1.25" eyepiece holders.
