One of the easiest ways is with a "NextImage Solar System Imager" from Celestron for about $100. It fits where the eyepiece goes and connects to a computer via USB. Another relatively inexpensive method (around $50) is a universal camera mounting adapter which can attach almost any point and shoot camera to the telescope and take pics through the eyepiece. Or, as others have mentioned, add a T-adapter and connect a DSLR camera.

You have to have a T-ring adapter for your camera and a separate T-ring that fits into your telescope, the two adapters together only run about $20. Well worth the money if you own a DSLR camera

Alejandro, Yes you can take pictures with some limitations. I have take marvelous pictures, but you need to sue a DSLR and you will have to purchase, from Celestron, a T-ring (part #93419) for $10.36 and the T-Adapter for $21.95. You thread these two items together and connect one end to your camer and the other end threads onto your telescope after you take the visual back off of the scope. You can easily photograph the Moon, I suggest that you take pictures of a partial moon. Run some tests and try different exposures. If you can afford a solar filter from Orion, you can take pictures of the Sun. Taking pictures of deep sky objects is difficult with an Alt-Azimuth mount, like the NexStar, but you should be able to get pcitures of Venus, Jupiter, the Pleiades and a few others, as long as you can shoot with a very high ISO. I hope this helps. One other thing that is very vlauable to purchase is the Celestron focal reducer, it will allow more light and widen your angle of view. Do some research on Prime focus photography with the NexStar 6.

I purchased this telescope around two years ago. I'm an amateur star gazer, but I feel this is a high end telescope. It is motorized, with several speed options for near and far gazing. It can also be programmed to follow specified objects. It's definitely helpful while viewing our moon. Hope this helped answer your question.

I think a refractor telescope is hard to use and hard to see objects other than a bright moon. I would suggest looking into a reflector telescope instead. As far as the telescope itself, I think it is well built and good quality. It was just hard for our 9 yr old to use...and hard for me too.

Patty, Thank you for your inquiry. This telescope comes with a mount and is not compatible with other mounts. It is designed to sit on the ground and will locate and track objects for you. Sincerely, Orion Customer Service

There is no motor mount, so long exposure photography won't work with this telescope. You can buy lens adapters to align your SLR to the eye piece. I have had great success taking pictures of the Moon by simply holding my iPhone camera on the eye piece of the telescope. Here's an example: http://pabstphoto.smugmug.com/Public-Gallery/i-CHhMLpv/0/L/Full%20Moon-L.jpg

The only type of photography recommended for this telescope is just attaching a simple point and shoot camera or smartphone using the right bracket for simple snapshots of the moon or planets. It's not recommended for any kind of serious astrophotography, but lunar snapshots can look nice.

You question is not very clear. What is your expectation? do you want to capture moving distance object? or nearby shots? This lens is for near shots with quality you may have to look for telescope lens for long distance shots. Hope it helps.

I believe if you set your camera to manual mode, it would work just fine. I used mine to hook up to a telescope, and have to be in manual... And it works beautiful!!

What you see, and two Lens a 10mm & 20mm and software with some fun things on it. Will get you started and go from there. I was able to attach it t9 my camera tripod as well which made it easier for viewing.But over all I am happy with it as my first telescope.

I am sure you can attach a HD web cam. Personally, I held the flip HD video recorder by hand and then posted the video on youtube. But you will have to be careful, because of the magnification even a small handshake causes a lot of effect on the video. Ideally you can purchase the celestron camera attachment unit which can hold camera's not sure about a web cam. However one issue I had with the camera mount unit is that it was heavy enough to tilt the telescope. You will need to adjust your balance weights.

No you don't have the ability to connect a camera to this scope. It is a child's beginner scope. They do have other scopes at Amazon by Amscope that have more options, like taking pictures, but this one is strictly a starter kit. Good luck!

You can attach cameras. There are universal digital camera adapters, not sure a web cam will fit. You will likely be disappointed with a live view through a camera. Things other than the moon and planets likely will not show at all. The Mount is not very sturdy, as has been mentioned in many reviews, so long term exposures are probably not realistic option.

Martin. I have never responded to a question before. My son and I really like this telescope. The fine adjustments are very easy. It us not as portable as we would like but what can you do. Let me know if you have a specific question as my son can help me answer.

Im not exactly sure but one thing I know for sure is you will need a reducer. This camera will magnify the image the same way a 5mm lens would. The big question you want to know before you buy this is if your telescope can move the camera close enough to the focal plane.

Pam that is exactly why I purchased the lens!! You will need a tripod . Took a little bit to get use to the lens, it's not auto focus. But I have some pics of the moon that are breathtaking ! Good luck!!

No. You can take long exposures with it, but you're better off spending the cash on a DSLR body like a Canon T3i and a program like BackyardEOS if you want to image deep sky objects.

You need to put the camera in full manual mode. Since this adapter has no AF function it will not register with the camera. Once you're in manual you should be fine. Aperture is fixed to what the telescope is so you adjust your exposure using different shutter speeds. Then to get the shutter to release you need to turn on the "release w/o lense" setting. After that you should be good to go.
