Other Accessories
#64 or #64ST T-Adapter. The basic means of photog-
raphy through any ETX telescope. ETX 80 users will
use the #64ST T-Adapter. ETX 90 users will use the
#64 T-Adapter. Both thread to the rear cell photo port
of the telescope, followed by a T-Mount appropriate
to the user’s brand of 35mm or DSLR camera. In this
way, the camera body is rigidly coupled to the tele-
scope’s optical system, which in effect becomes the
camera’s lens.
