Picture it!

For photography of the moon planets and stars through catadioptric telescope using 1.25-inch eyepieces this Meade variable TeleXtender camera adapter is a versatile choice. It incorporates a machined sliding mechanism that permits variable projection distances during eyepiece-projection photography. And this eliminates the need to switch to a higher-power eyepiece for additional enlargement. Two thumpscrews lock the sliding cell in position at the desired projection distance and a third screw locks the eyepiece in position. A separable thread-in unit also permits prime-focus photography.

Performance is excellent with virtual elimination of color fringing. All parts too are of machined aluminum and brass. The 1.25-inch barrel is threaded for filters. Use with a T-Mount ordered separately for your brand of 35mm camera body.
