Celestron Sony Mirrorless Camera to 8″ RASA Adapter
It’s easy to see why mirrorless cameras are becoming more and more popular with the astro-imaging community. By coupling these cameras with Celestron’s innovative 8″ Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA), breathtaking astronomical images of deep sky phenomena are achievable.
Here’s what makes mirrorless cameras such a perfect match for RASA. First, the compact camera body privides minimal obstruction when placed on the front of the RASA optical tube. Second, the sensitive imaging chip helps capture every bit of stunning detail that the RASA optical system collects.
This adapter is a required accessory for those who want to use a Sony mirrorless camera with the 8″ RASA Astrograph. Securely attaches to the front of the 8″ RASA via the camera’s built-in bayonet mount. In addition, this adapter facilitates optimal image sharpness by positioning the camera’s sensor at the appropriate backfocus distance.
