  • David Astro M42 Nikon F T-Ring

    The David Astro M42 Nikon F T-Ring attaches to a Nikon F mount DSLR camera body like a lens and gives it an M42x0.75 T-thread (T2), 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 T2 part, such as a nosepiece adapter or a flattener or reducer with an M42x0.75 thread. With the lens removed, the telescope works as the camera lens and projects the image straight onto the sensor.

  • What is the David Astro M42 Nikon F T-Ring used for?

    It adapts a Nikon F mount camera body to the M42x0.75 T-thread, so the camera can be attached to a telescope for prime focus astrophotography.

    What else do I need to use the David Astro M42 Nikon F T-Ring with my telescope?

    A telescope-side adapter with an M42x0.75 (T2) thread, such as a 2" nosepiece adapter, or a flattener or reducer with a T2 camera-side thread.

    How does the David Astro M42 Nikon F T-Ring attach to my camera?

    Like a lens: line up the mount index marks, insert and turn until it locks.

    Will the David Astro M42 Nikon F T-Ring fit a Nikon Z mirrorless camera?

    No. Nikon Z cameras use a different mount from the Nikon F mount. A Nikon Z camera needs a T-ring made for the Z mount.

    What does M42x0.75 mean?

    M42x0.75 is a 42mm metric thread with a 0.75mm pitch, the T-thread (T2) used by many telescope adapters, flatteners and reducers.
