Mirrorless cameras are rapidly gaining popularity within the astroimaging community, and for good reason. When paired with Celestron's groundbreaking 8" Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA), the result is the creation of stunning deep-sky astronomical images.

What makes a mirrorless camera the ideal companion for the RASA? Firstly, the compact design of the camera body minimizes obstruction when affixed to the front of the RASA optical tube. Secondly, the camera's sensitive imaging chip ensures the capture of every intricate detail that the RASA optical system brings forth.

For those looking to use their Sony mirrorless camera with the 8" RASA, this adapter becomes an essential accessory. Utilizing the camera's integrated bayonet mount, it securely attaches to the front of the RASA. Additionally, the adapter positions the camera's sensor at the precise backfocus distance, optimizing image sharpness.
