Question by Beetlle: is there a camera adapter compatible with an orion xt6 telescope?
I am interested in getting an Orion xt6 telescope and i also want to try my hand in astrophotography. I use a canon dslr. My question is, is there a camera adapter or t-ring that is compatible with an orion xt6 telescope? if there is, what would it be called?
I am an absolute amateur in astronomy. all the more in astrophotography AND telescopes.

Answer by Daryl S
I applaud your enthusiasm for astronomy and astrophotography. HOWEVER, astrophotography is a lot more that attaching a camera to a telescope and getting an image. First, an Orion XT6 is a Dobsonian mount scope. This is absolutely inappropriate for astrophotography. To take a photo of most objects, you’ll need to leave your camera’s shutter open for long periods (long being several seconds) unless you are shooting bright objects like the moon. Unless you have some kind of tracking on your scope, when you leave the shutter open all you will get is a blur as the object moves across your lens. GeoffG who frequents this site makes it a point to advise beginners in astronomy NOT to try astrophotography. You will be totally frustrated by the result. There are multiple variables involved in astrophotograhy that are too numerous too mention in a single post. Just learning to take a decent photo is a learning curve of about 6 months or more. I encourage you to keep the desire for astrophotography, but this is a series of small, baby steps; not one big leap. Also, the cost alone can be enough to deter a lot of folks. I started buying my equipment over a year ago and just got it all together…total cost approx. $ 4000. That’s the moderately low end. It can be done for less, depending on the results you would accept and be satisfied with. Anyway, after a year, I just started taking images this past September and believe me when I say that none of them will make Sky and Telescope magazine. Take your time, take small steps, get the right equipment, get more astronomical knowledge and try to find a good astronomy club. Don’t give up, just realize that it takes time….you’ll get there.
“…astrophotography is not difficult”….omg…. OK, let’s make sure we are clear on this so you are not confused or misled. As I said in my original post, “…It can be done for less, depending on the results you would accept and be satisfied with.” If you just want to take some pictures, that’s fine. If you want to do ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY, then my dear, that takes a great deal of time and is a big learning curve. I don’t think anyone is taking great photos of DSO’s such as galaxies and emission nebulas with $ 1000 of equipment and a few weeks of practice. No offense meant, just want to be realistic with this.
