First post I,ve done. How to make a DMK 41 mono camera work to get focus?
I,ve just bought Lunt 50 scope and want to use a DMK 41 as imaging camera.
The camera seems to have a C mount 1” 25 mm thread into which your nosepiece fits however I cannot get enough in focus with it. If I remove the 11/4” nosepiece holder and fit a 10mm spacer with T2 42mm threads to scope it will work.
Where can I get a C mount to T2 adaptor 25mm male to 42mm female adaptor. This is my thinking however how have the guys who use DMK 41 fit there’s to the scope ?

I use a 1.25" adapter directly on my DMK41.
Came that way.
Have you a photo you can share?
I can't comment on the Lunt, but if you can't get enough in-focus, you could also try using a barlow lens.

The 11/4. adaptor is fine however it takes it too far out of focus. If I use a Barlow lens then getting the full disc isn’t an option .

Just make a search in internet
" C mount to T2 adapter "
And there is for example one at the Smiley company

BTW, one 1" inch is 25.4mm
