Digi-T Digital Camera Adapters.

How Does the Digi-T system work?

The Digi-T system is quick, secure, and easy to use. As pictured above the rubber eyeguard
is removed from the eyepiece (left), The Digi-T threaded ring (middle) is slipped over the top of
the eyepiece and the 3 set screws are tightened (with the included wrench) into the groove
left
vacant by the rubber eyeguard, the proper step ring (right) then couples the Digi-T ring to the
camera. In some cases a lens extension tube or intermediate ring may be required, these are
included with the Digi-T system kits as needed.

Why is"Digi-T" better than a conventional eyepiece projection adapter?

Digi-T offers a number of significant advantages over conventional eyepiece projection
adapters....

Less Vignetting - When coupling a digital camera to a telescope it is imperative that the
eyepiece lens and the camera lens are as close together as possible, a separation of even
1/2" will result in an image like looking through a soda straw. When installed onto the
eyepiece Digi-T is flush with the top. Thanks to Digi-T's exclusive "thread-through-thread"
design the step ring then threads completely over it, adding zero length. No other adapter
gets
as close!

Fits More Eyepieces - There are 2 types of conventional eyepiece projection adapters, fixed
length and variable. The fixed length adapters are too short to hold the most popular
eyepieces (such as the 26mm Super Plossl) and too narrow to hold many others. The
variable
length adapters are designed for film cameras and are simply too long to allow the close
coupling necessary for digital cameras, in addition they are still too narrow to hold any of the
wider field eyepieces. Digi-T fits a 4mm Plossl or a 40mm Plossl!

No Back Focus Problems - All conventional eyepiece projection adapters have one thing in
common, they lift the eyepiece up in the holder by about 1". For many refractors and
reflectors this is a serious problem as they can no longer reach focus! This is especially true
with the popular ETX60/70 telescopes. Since Digi-T attaches to the top of the eyepiece it
doesn't change the eyepiece position at all and focus remains the same.

Convenient - No need to search the world over for a bunch oddball hard to find rings to attach
your camera and then hoping they will all work together. In most cases you can have
everything you need with a single click!

Which Cameras will the Digi-T System fit?

The Digi-T system is available to fit most popular digital cameras with threaded lenses. Many
are available right now, and many more are coming very shortly. Aside from a common sized
threaded lens the only requirement is that the camera have a live LCD viewfinder screen so
you can see to focus the image. Just some of the cameras currently supported are the Nikon
800/900 series, Olympus 2000/3000 series, and many Sonys using a 37mm Lens.

Which Eyepieces will the Digi-T System fit?

Digi-T fits the worlds most popular 1.25" eyepieces with removable rubber
eyeguards...specifically the Meade 4000 Series Plossls, Meade SWA's (except for 24.5mm)
and UWA's, Meade ETX 60/70 eyepieces, Celestron NexStar Plossls (newer type with rubber
eyeguards only), ScopeTronix ST Series Plossls, Orion Sirius Plossls, Generic Series
300/400 Plossls, and many more imported eyepieces with removable rubber eyeguards. Digi
-T
will not fit TeleVue eyepieces. See our line of Adaptaview adapters and our CAM1 projection
adapter for these and other specialty eyepieces on our "Camera Adapters & T-Rings" page.
To see if your eyepiece will work if it is not listed above check it as follows. It must have a
removable rubber eyeguard, once the eyeguard is removed the diameter of the TOP of the
eyepiece (the portion above the groove that holds the eyeguard) must be between 1.22" and
1.26" for the best fit.
