Video Not Working? Fix It Now

How to connect D5100 DSLR camera to 10 inch dobsonian telescope (Orion XT10g) for astrophotography. This works!: (Sorry for the fact that this video is slightly out of focus - the irony in that has not passed me by! LOL. Some day if I have the time I will record again with a better focus!) I finally found out how to get my DSLR to focus properly on my 10 inch dobsonian telescope. Parts needed for a 1.25 setup: 1) DSLR 2) T- ring 3) T- adapter (nose-piece only!) 4) 1.25 inch barlow 5) 1.25 inch adapter (used to attach to 2 inch focuser) 6) telescope Check out "Daddy Versus the Squirrels" A Children's Book about trying to stop the squirrels from eating all of the bird food.
