Whats the best way to connect my K20 to a Celestron C8 telescope :

I have just borrowed this scope from a friend with the opportunity to buy it.
Should I connect it through a lens or through a T-mount adapter directly to the 1.25inch 26mm or 32mm eyepieces.

I have done a little research on this but im still none the wiser on this subject, anyone had any experience in this area and would like to pass on some tips, It would be greatly appreciated. cheers

Thanks Martin for the correction.

I was on a boat when I took the shot, A midday harbour cruise if I recall.

I had this lens some time ago and used it on my K10 with some very good results.
I gave the camera and lens to my brother when I upgraded to the K20
Unfortunately I can't seem to locate any shots taken at 200mm
But this was at 63mm, f6.7, 100iso, 350s

I also use and recommend Energiser Lithium batteries. Yes they can be expensive but are readily available on E-Bay for less than 50% of the shop price. Here

Very sad, I saw it in this mornings papers.

You have to wonder what drives these people over edge

I have Pentax bellows mint condition, used it with the S1a screw thread and often wondered if you could change the screw mount for the K bayonet type?

I did it with this Novaflex bellows and it worked fine and wasn't too difficult to do. I only converted the camera end though not the lens end.

I ended up selling this and got 40quid for it, without the lens

Sorry Matt, I have the same Jessops tubes as Danny but mine only have 6 cantacts not seven, and I can't get them to co-operate with the 50-135mm at all

Here you go Mike, good combo I usually have the flash off camera and hand held.

Matt if I get time this afternoon I will do a couple of tests.

I have been playing lately with my Sigma 180mm on a set of bellows K
