#62 T-Adapter:
The T-Adapter is the basic means of prime-focus
35mm photography through all Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain and
Advanced Coma-Free models. Thread the T-Adapter on to the
rear cell of your telescope, followed by a T-Mount for your 35mm
camera, and the camera body is rigidly coupled to the telescope.
#777 Off-Axis Guider:
The Off-Axis Guider provides a means
during long-exposure astrophotography for the photographer to
monitor the tracking of the telescope to assure that the telescope
remains precisely positioned on the object being photographed.
Like the T-Adapter, the Off-Axis Guider couples the camera
body to the telescope but it also causes a small amount of the
guidestar’s incoming light to be diverted at a right angle, where
star’s position can be examined for tracking errors with an
illuminated reticle eyepiece; position corrections can then be
effected using Autostar II (this is not needed if using StarLock).
Piggyback Brackets:
Piggyback photography is one of the most
popular and easiest ways to get started in astrophotography.
Attach your 35mm camera, with its own 35mm-to-250mm lens,
atop your LX600 in equatorial mode, and guide the telescope
