David Astro M48 Sony E T-Ring
The David Astro M48 Sony E T-Ring attaches to a Sony E mount mirrorless camera body like a lens and gives it an M48 thread, so the camera can be connected to a telescope adapter, flattener or reducer for prime focus imaging.
The Camera Half of the Connection
A T-ring is the camera-specific part of the link between camera and telescope. On the telescope side you also need a matching M48 part, such as a nosepiece adapter or a flattener or reducer with an M48 thread. With the lens removed, the telescope works as the camera lens and projects the image straight onto the sensor.
Why M48
The M48 thread is wider than the M42 T-thread. With larger sensors, an M48 connection lowers the risk of vignetting (darkened corners) that a narrower M42 path can cause. The thread pitch is not stated in our product data. Contact us before ordering and we will confirm it for you.

Why choose the M48 T-ring over an M42 T-ring for my Sony camera?
The M48 thread is wider than M42. With larger sensors, such as full-frame, it lowers the risk of vignetting, the darkening of image corners.
