I'm not sure that you can attach this camera to the t thread adaptor on your scopes eyepiece as the camera doesn't appear to have a filter thread around the lens.

The bracket (Canon LADC 10)  has a 37mm filter thread you will need a t-thread to 37mm step down ring to attach the bracket to your scope, simple!!!!!!!!


Then simply attach the adaptor ring to the bracket, and the bracket to your camera.:)


Does this help?:dry:

Yep!!!


 

 

T Mount - Filter Thread adapter for cameras with a 37mm filter thread @ £20 each!


This will be the adaptor or "step down" ring that you need.

Just order one ring. It will come ready to attach

 

 

One end attaches to your scope, the other end will attach to the bracket, then attach your camera to the bracket. That should do it!!

how do I know it will attach to the scope,?  Just want to make sure even though I will buy sometime after the camera arrives. £20 is a lot to me

It will fit for sure.


One side of the adaptor ring will fit to the thread on your scopes eyepiece, and the other side will attach to the bracket you are going to buy.


Let me know how you get on.:tongue:
