Telescopes with a fitted camera?

[timputtick]

I've recently heard of Telescopes with a camera mounted to the eye piece, I would like to try this but do I need to buy a particular Telescope or is it an adapter to a normal Telescope eyepiece? Also if anybody has any knowledge on the general quality of the images they produce it would be most appreciated.
Thanks

Usually done with two pieces ... T-Adapter that attaches to the Telescope (in replacement of the eyepiece) and a T-Mount to connect the Camera body.

Here's how a standard scope looks:

Remove the eyepiece and the visual back.

What you need is an adapter, and a T-mount for your type of camera. I doubt you're talking more than $50.

Install the adapter where the visual back went.

Install the camera mount.

Mount the camera.

That's all there is!

You may want to look into software that you can tether the camera with.... it's a lot easier using a laptop.
