For the popular Canon EOS cameras, there is a wide range of very good lenses available. What is more obvious than using these lenses also for astrophotography with high resolution CCD cameras. This adapter establishes the connection from your CCD camera to the lens and also connects to a photo tripod or accessory clamp.


The capabilities and advantages of the combination of EOS lens and CCD camera

• With cooled CCD cameras, significantly deeper images of the sky are possible than with uncooled DSLR cameras.
• Resolution and especially depth of the images from CCD cameras are higher, Objects do not wear out so fast, the images generally appear more plastic.
• Totally different sections of the sky can be imaged than with photographing through the telescope. Nebulae, clusters and even galaxies can be presented totally new and with high quality. Like the image of the North America Nebula at left.
• With an autoguider, your EOS lens can even be used as compact guiding scope - perfect for astro air trips where every gramm counts.

The TS Canon EOS Adapter is suitable for these lenses:

All Canon EOS lenses for full format or APS-C format and also lenses from third-party suppliers like Sigma, as far as they are designed for Canon EOS cameras.

The EOS lens adapter is suitable for these CCD and CMOS cameras:

Due to the short optical length of only 19 mm, you can adapt almost all CCD cameras, video cameras with C-mount, cameras from The Imaging Source and cameras from many other suppliers.

As most cameras have only little distance between thread and chip, you might possibly need T2 extension tubes for acieving the correct distance between lens and camera. Beside the extension tubes, we also offer conversion adapters to other connections like C-mount or 1.25".

Video cameras and planetary cameras can also be used.

Suitable adapters (T2 to C-mount or T2 to 1.25" barrel) are linked as "recommended accessories".

Use of filters
Inside of the T2-thread, there is a M37 thread. If needed and a camera is used with a sensor which is not too large, an adapter with a M28.5 thread can be inserted here. Then you can use the whole range of filters with 1.25" mount. The filter insert is included.
