Camera adapter is very loose?
I'm just getting into astrophotography and I'm new to it. I bought a T-ring adapter for my Canon camera so I can attach it to my telescope, but unfortunately it's really loose and keeps falling out. My camera also says I can't take photos. Is it not recognizing the adapter?
Without a lens, the camera apparently can’t take photos. The adapter gives the electr. Contacts only further, but is not recognized as an objective.
what can I do about it or do I just have the wrong adapter?
Unfortunately, I don’t know that exactly, maybe you’ll find an attitude you need to change to your specific camera.
What’s the focal length of your telescope?
Has worked, thanks again for the help :))
That could be. The ring looks like he’s got three holes for screws with which the telescopic adapter is clamped.
Report if you need help. calibre
yes unfortunately the picture is from the wrong side. But it can be that I’ve found a solution now because I asked my father. He says you have to pull something hard with an inbus key that I’m trying for now
How does the thread look on the right part (relative to your first picture)? On the picture it looks as if it weren’t really present.
From this adapter is the inner small ring which is connected to it here. Omegon Camera adaptor T2-Ring compatible with Canon EOS (astroshop.eu) , Omegon Adaptors T-2 to 1.25 nosepiece (astroshop.eu)
so the small ring that fits in with the adapter too loosely falls out, I hope the explanation makes some sense
Very nice!
Which part is too loose? The adapter itself, or the small part which is then in the lens?
Thank you, the camera now takes photos 🙂 Just stay the adapter problem haha
See if you have a function “Delete Without Lens” in the settings somewhere.

The focal length is 1500mm
I have this telescope: Skywatcher Maksutov telescope MC 127/1500 SkyMax-127 AZ-GTi GoTo WiFi (astroshop.eu)
(1) There is a menu in the camera where you can adjust that it triggers without a lens being connected, you can find in the C.Fn slider menu.
2) The adapter doesn’t look like it fits each other – maybe there’s an intermediate ring or do you have to turn it in? Looks more like M42.
