Astroscope Adapter
Summary | Main Characteristics | Notes - Related Units |
This adapter attaches to astronomical telescopes. Both direct focus photography and higher magnification photography are possible. |
This 5-piece adapter system permits astrophotography by the OM body
attached to a telescope by means of the 36.5mm diameter, pitch 1mm and pitch 0.75mm
threads. It consists of an OM-Mount adapter part, Direct Focus Ring, Enlarging Tube, Telescope Connector Tube and a Reverse Ring. It enables direct objective photography and high magnification photography through the telescope eyepiece. |
Use of focusing screen 1-8 is recommended. More acurate focusing may be achieved by the use of the Varimagni Finder. With the OM-1, mirror lock-up is recommended to reduce camera vibrations. |
