My Dad wants to take some pictures with the new scope I bought. What are good camera adapters to look into? If it helps anything, the scope is a C9.25, and the diagonal is a tv everbrite 1.25. He has two cameras he wants to buy adapters for.. The first one is a Nikon N80 SLR, and the other is a Sony Cyber-Shot Digital DSC-S70 3.3 Megapixel. If anyone has any good links or suggestions, please feel free to speak up. Thanks.

For the SLR you can buy an SCT T-adapter and a Nikon T-mount. Prime focus away! Alternately, you could piggyback the camera on your telescope.

Digicam's are a little harder to hook up. I don't know about that model so I won't say anything. It's a case by case thing.

John,
Scopetronix sells their "Digi-T" series of adapters for many models of digital cameras. I have an older Nikon Coolpix 800 and their adapter worked just great with it. They sell for about $60 (it seems like a lot of $$ for such a little part but I guess there's a lot of machining!)
Good luck,
-Curtis
