help getting a setup for a camera
I am looking for the brains to let me know what I need to do. I have a Konus K J-7 60 mm. I want to get an adapter to place the digital camera on it. I went to their web site to try and see what I need, but am as confused as before. Any of you able to tell me what I need ? I am interested not only at shots of the moon and stars, but day shots also.

I checked out the Konus site. I doubt that this is a telescope that can be adapted to a camera. Looks very similar to one I have (but mines even less tecki). What you might do is take the eye piece into a good camera store and see if they have an adapter. Or here is the specs for the eyepiece: H 8 mm and H 20 mm, diam. 24.5 mm (1") Maybe if you call them they'd have some idea. If there isn't one already made for this scope, you might be able to rig one up yourself. One problem however, if it's at all like my scope, it is way to flimsy to support any camera. Good luck.
thanx Peter. That is kinda what got me wondering. The box and papers say it is the type you can order the adapter and be able to fit a digital but I sure didn't see anything past it saying you could !! Out here in the dark I should get some good pictures if I can figure out how to do it .
See what you get when you ask? Direction where to proceed with the next step.
Myself, I have no trouble at all hand-holding my long lens at pitch black night and getting some great shots. Who needs a tripod?? It's all in the way that you hold it.
I find that standing on one foot while exhaling gets me the desired results.
You may ask, "What do you take with shots like that?" Generally a dose of dream, with a shot of BS, followed by a vivid imagination." It usually gives me what ever image I want..perfectly.
I guess I'm not really of any help. OK, I'll go back to bed.
