How To Attach A Canon Powershot S3 Is To A Telescope?

by best digital camera review on October 12, 2009

I have a 60 mm Tasco Luminova telescope with interchangeable eyepieces (25, 12.5 and 4 mm), and a 3.3x Barlow. How do I attach my Canon Powershot S3 IS camera to it?

I don’t know much about this telescope & camera. You may be able to attach it using the Canon lens adapter LAH-DC20, but don’t take my word for it, find out for yourself.
However, generally speaking, when attaching a camera to an astronomical telescope it is better to use an SLR camera with the camera lens removed, so that the image from the telescope’s main lens (without the eyepiece) is focused straight onto the camera sensor. With a camera like the S3, you can’t remove the lens, so you’ll have to place the camera just behind the prime focus (and use macro mode.)
