Photographic 

observations

Use a miniature reflex camera with an 

objective’s  thread  M4x0.75  to  take 

pictures of celestial objects.
To operate with other photo cameras, 

use  adjusting  rings,  selling  in  the 

specialty stores.

To mount a camera on the telescope, 

take off deflecting mirror (1), screw 

() and bushing (3).
Unscrew  the  camera  objective 

lens.

Screw  the  bushing  into  the 

camera.

Insert the camera () with bushing 

into  the  eyepiece  tube  ()  and 

secure them by the screw (3).
Perform  the  shooting  of  bright 

objects  that  need  a  second 

exposure  (the  best  object  is  the 

Moon). Otherwise, pictures will be 

blurry due to the diurnal rotation of 

the celestial sphere.
It  is  necessary  to  use  a  special 

bracket (not included in the delivery 

set) when working with a digital or 

video cameras.
Long-time exposure is needed for 

taking  pictures  of  weakly  glowing 

objects  (separate  stars,  nebulas). 

This astrophotography is possible 

with  the  use  of  the  parallactic 

mount with a clock electric drive at 

polar axis (TAL-M, TAL-50K) and 

special off-axis guide GV-.5
