Our StarShoot Pro V1 to Canon Lens Adapter will bring a new facet of versatility to your astro-imaging repertoire. By allowing you to attach a Canon DSLR (or SLR) camera lens to your Orion StarShoot Pro V1, this handy adapter enables you to capture a super wide field-of-view. Most Canon EOS DSLR and SLR camera lenses are much more optically "fast" than many imaging telescopes, and as such provide an imaging field-of-view far wider than most telescopes. Using a "fast" Canon EOS camera lens for astro-imaging also enables you to capture a tremendous amount of detail in comparatively shorter exposures. Wide-field expanses of night sky that would normally require a mosaic combination of narrow-field images can be captured quickly and easily in a single shot. Imagine capturing entire wide-field constellations such as Cygnus in a single exposure! Imaging with such an expansive field of view also enables you to take other creative compositions including star trails, landscape silhouettes, meteor showers, and more!
Astro-imaging with the fast focal ratio offered by DSLR and SLR camera lenses does not require an especially heavy-duty mount with a large payload capacity - any mount that tracks equatorially will deliver fantastic results. When using this adapter and a "fast" Canon EOS lens, precise tracking is not as critical as when using a longer focal length astro-imaging telescope. What's more, autoguiding is not necessary to achieve admirable results.
The Orion StarShoot Pro V1 to Canon Lens Adapter is an ideal accessory for Orion StarShoot Pro V1 CCD imager owners who also have Canon EOS camera lenses.
Note: Recommended for Canon EOS camera lenses that are equipped with a 1/4"-20 mounting adapter to easily attach to a photo tripod or telescope mount.
