Q: QuestionCan I attach a DSLR Camera to this telescope?

Asked 1 year ago by Swanie.

• A:Answer While it is possible to attach a DSLR to the Travelscope using the Barlow T-adapter seen in the following link, and a T-ring specific for your model of camera, a DSLR is a heavy load to hang on the end of small instrument like the Travelscope. A more practical solution would be to use the NexYX three axis adjustable cellphone adapter and a lightweight cellphone camera. https://www.celestron.com/products/universal-barlow-and-t-adapter-125in https://www.celestron.com/products/nexyz-dx-smartphone-adapter-kit

Q: QuestionLooking for a telescope to see some planets such as saturn. It is suppose to be visible with the naked eye and looking for a telescope that might be able to see the rings. Is this the right telescope?

Asked 2 years ago by Multipurpose.

• A:Answer No, this is only for the sun. The strong filter needed to safely view the sun blocks out so much light that you won't see anything if using this as a night sky telescope. To view saturn, look for a telescope that isn't advertised as a solar safe scope.

Q: Questionhow far can i see with this telescope?

Asked 1 year ago by CJCJ.

• A:Answer The purpose of an astronomical telescope is to both magnify and gather dim light. So, the actual answer in not how far you can see, but how dim. A bright distant might be easier to see than a dim nearby object, so depending on what you are looking at, there is no true answer as to "how far" you can see with a given telescope.
