When venturing into the realm of astrophotography through a telescope or spotting scope, one of your initial necessities will be a T-Ring. If you are in possession of a Canon EOS mirrorless camera body, the ideal choice is the Celestron EOS M-Mount T-Ring.
Using this T-Ring is a straightforward process. To begin, attach the M-Mount T-Ring to your Canon mirrorless camera. Much like the process of changing a camera lens, align the T-Ring with your camera's lens mount, push it in, and rotate until you hear a distinctive click. The T-Ring features a robust bayonet flange that securely locks in place. Once you have affixed the T-Ring to your camera, you are all set to connect it to your telescope. On the telescope side of the T-Ring, there are threads that can accommodate a range of camera adapters, including the Celestron T-Adapter. The specific adapter you select will depend on the type of photography you intend to pursue.
As for its construction, the Canon M-Mount 42mm T-Ring is precision-machined from black anodized aluminum. Its internal surfaces are treated to be blackened and anti-reflective, ensuring optimal contrast. The T-Ring also features a ribbed surface for a secure grip when attaching or detaching. Moreover, the Canon M-Mount 42mm T-Ring is compatible with M42 x 0.75 (T-Thread) camera adapters.
