Focal lengths from 4.5mm to 25mm. #62 T-Adapter: The T-Adapter is the basic means of prime-focus 35mm photography through all Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain and Advanced Coma-Free models. Thread the T-Adapter on to the rear cell of your telescope, followed by a T-Mount for your 35mm camera, and the camera body is rigidly coupled to the telescope. #777 Off-Axis Guider: The Off-Axis Guider provides a means during long-exposure astrophotography for the photographer to monitor the tracking of the telescope to assure that the telescope remains precisely positioned on the object being photographed. Like the T-Adapter, the Off-Axis Guider couples the camera body to the telescope but it also causes a small amount of the guidestar's incoming light to be diverted at a right angle, where star's position can be examined for tracking errors with an illuminated reticle eyepiece; position corrections can then be effected using Autostar II (this is not needed if using StarLock). Piggyback Brackets: Piggyback photography is one of the most popular and easiest ways to get started in astrophotography. Attach your 35mm camera, with its own 35mm-to-250mm lens, atop your LX600 in equatorial mode, and guide the telescope
