OAG-L camera side attachment

peregrine

Sorry, but I cannot find an answer to this on the web site. How do I go about attaching OAG-L directly to a 6200mm camera? I am not using the ZWO filter wheel.

OK, the camera is M54f. Does the OAG have a camera side M54m adapter?
Anybody?

You can attach the OAG-L to the camera via the screw holes on the tilt plate of the camera, but only two screw holes can be aligned.
Moreover, it is hard to reach to back focus requirement if your telescope has.

OK. So is there any chance you guys would make an adapter so this would work without having to buy another filter wheel?

Hope this will help you.

I'm confused. How does a M54f adapter connect to a M54f camera?

I think the idea is to bolt said adapter directy using 4 screws to your camera.

Check the mechnical drawings to see if the adapter screw holes match the tapped screw holes on the tilt plate of your camera.

The open end of the adapter then forms a female M54 flange that is an extra 15mm away from the top surface of your camera's tilt plate.

Check the photos in the document that was linked for you.

Notice that the camera angles are properly aligned, instead of using threaded tubes.
