TS Optics Photo tripod adapter and holding ring for astro cameras with D=74-76 mm



Astro cameras with CCD or CMOS sensors produce good results also with good camera lenses. For example, you can photograph large celestial areas with a wide-angle lens or, with high resolution, diffuse nebulae and star clouds of our milky way with a light telephoto lens. The use on photo tripods or portable astrophotography mounts, like the Star Adventurer, becomes possible, too.


Adaption

The TSHOLDER74 allows attaching the camera to a photo tripod via the 1/4" thread at the base. You can also attach the camera parallel to the telescope and practice piggyback astrophotography.

• The holding ring has a 1/4" photo thread and a GP / EQ5 style dovetail bar at the base.
  
• 
  The ring can easily be opened and grips the camera gently. Felt prevents from scratching the body.
  
• 
  Two slotted holes allow for well balancing the camera with the mounted lens.
  
• 
  The lateral opening for cooling remains free.
  

The TSHOLDER74 is suitable for all CCD and CMOS cameras with a round body of 74 mm to 76 mm diameter. For example, the follwing cameras are suitable:

• 
  Atik Horizon Mono and Color
• 
  ALCCD and QHY cool cameras 174, 178, 224, 290, 163, 183 and similar ones
• 
  Starlight Xpress SXVR-H674, SXVR-694 and similar ones
