Katrina Kennedy had commented that she'd love to see my setup for my astrophotography, so I took these photos with my iPhone and composited them in Frametastic.
The top left image shows my 60D, Opteka T-Ring, Celestron T-Ring Adapter w/2x Barlow lens, and solar filter.
The top right image shows my 60D with T-Ring and T-Adapter attached.
The bottom image shows the camera with T-Ring and T-Adapter on the camera, all attached to the telescope. To do this, I simply removed the eyepiece and erecting image diagonal mirror, then put the camera in place (screws hold on to the T-Ring Adapter so it does not fall). Not shown is the solar filter capped onto the opposite end of the telescope.
When I did my moon photos, I used the same setup, but without the solar filter. I took photos of the moon both with and without the T-Ring Adapter. When I did not use the T-Ring Adapter, I simply screwed the camera (via the T-Ring) onto the threaded end of the telescope assembly.
