Meade ETX70 + EOS 550D

Spete · 09-04-2014 09:25AM #1

Hi all,

I just acquired a Meade ETX70 and a Canon 550D for a very good price....

From a previous life, I still have the T-Ring, but for the life of me, can't remember what attachment to get for the Meade. Fairly sure it's the Meade #64ST, but would like to be sure (this attaches to the back of the Meade, right?).

Any other suggestions are welcome as well.

Also, where is the best place (local to Wicklow preferably) to get an attachment at the right price.

You will need an EOS t adapter as well.

My first port of call would be online. Ebay will almost certainly put you on the right track.
Good luck!

Thanks all.

Thought as much, but just wanted to be sure.

The T-ring I have, so will order this and wait for clear skies and head out into thew Wicklow Mountains

Oh, if anyone local(ish) would happen to have or know one (the #64ST Meade adapter, that is) for sale: let me know :-)
