Mount your camera!
Perfect for those who would like to try digiscoping or to use a digital camera for astrophotography, the Zhumell small universal digital camera adapter provides an inexpensive way to connect a digital camera to your optical equipment. It works with eyepieces having an outside diameter of 28mm to 45mm.
Using the tripod screw receptacle on the bottom of your camera and the eyepiece on your optical equipment, the universal digital camera adapter is versatile enough to work with nearly any combination of camera and optical equipment. Unlike other designs, the Zhumell camera adapter allows for both horizontal and vertical adjustment of the camera platform so you can line the lens of your camera up with the eyepiece of your spotting scope of telescope.
Simply clamp the adapter onto the eyepiece of your optical equipment and line up the lenses. You will quickly be on your way to great digiscoping shots!

this digiscope adapter is by far the greatest invention ever. for those of you interested in the hobby of amatuer astrophotogrphy this what you need. I have used the adapter for my camera, Canon SD 600, now for 2 months and have taken great pictures, and video of the moon, jupiter, mars, and well anything in the sky. the greatest feature is the light weight and sturdy construction, microadjustable windage, N, S, E, W<. non-maring clamp that mounts to the end of the eyepieces without damage. for me this is a starter to the real deal of CCD pictures which costs $$$$ more than your scope but if you are a true fan of astronomy this adapter is just for you.

Ok, but has limitations
Loosely constructed and limited travel adjustment provents use with a 35 mm camera. Recommended for small digital cameras only.

Comments about Zhumell Universal Digiscoping Adapter - Small:
Great adapter for small cameras. This adapter will not work for cameras such as the Sony DSC-H2. To use on some scopes requires peeling back or removing rubber sleeves. I was able to take some great pictures using a Samsung DV300F

Comments about Zhumell Universal Digiscoping Adapter - Small:
This was exactly what I was looking for and just the right price. Will only work on smaller spotting scopes. Would not work on a Vortex Viper spotting scope but I modified it to work. Will not fit any larger eyepiece than 1.70". For the price I took the time to make it work for my needs.

Q1: How can i take pictures that i see through my dobsonian telescope?
A: It's pretty tough to take pictures through a Dobsonian telescope. The scope's altazimuth mount and lack of an automated tracking device put long-exposure astrophotography out of reach. With a device like the Zhumell Universal T-Adapter and a T-ring made specifically for your brand of camera (plus the camera, of course), you might be able to snap a picture or two, but you'd have to point the scope first, take the eyepiece out, slip in the T-adapter/t-ring and camera, then shoot. It'd be almost impossible not to move the scope in the process, ruining your picture. One thing you COULD do is utilize a device like the Zhumell Digital Eyepiece. It would transmit what the scope "sees" to a laptop or PC, where it could be stored as still images or captured as live video. Here's the URL for the Digital Eyepiece; just paste it into your browser's address window: http://telescopes.com/products/zhumell-1-25in-digital-eyepiece-super-sale-closeout-32584.html.
Q2: Does this work with the Celestron Powerseeker 127 EQ Telescope?
A: Yes, you can use this in conjunction with your telescope for astrophotography with your compact camera.
Q3: Will this work with my Canon PowerShot A480?
A: Yes, you'll be able to connect your Canon PowerShot A480 to this adapter.
Q4: What size camera will work with this mount?
A: Any small/medium sized digital camera will connect to this mount, allowing you to focus it into your telescope.
