This Explore Scientific T-2 ring for Nikon DSLR is the astrophotography camera adapter that connects your Nikon camera body to a T-thread telescope. One side matches your camera's Nikon bayonet mount; the other is a standard T-2 (M42 × 0.75 mm) thread, so your telescope becomes a giant telephoto lens for imaging the Moon, planets and more.

It's the essential first link in most prime-focus astrophotography setups, giving you a solid, wobble-free connection between camera and scope.

Who it's for: Nikon DSLR owners getting started with telescope astrophotography. New to the hobby? See our astronomy 101 stargazing basics guide.

  • Nikon-to-T2 connection: mates a Nikon bayonet body to any standard T-2 thread adapter.
  • Standard M42 × 0.75 mm thread: compatible with most T-mount rings, extensions and reducers.
  • Durable metal build: stainless-steel and anodized aluminum for a secure, lasting fit.
  • Low profile: just 8.5 mm working length keeps your imaging train compact.
  • Telescope & microscope use: also connects Nikon cameras to compatible microscopes.

What does a T-ring do?
It adapts your Nikon camera's lens mount to the universal T-2 thread, letting you attach the camera to a telescope or T-thread adapter for photography.

Will it fit my Nikon camera?
It matches the Nikon bayonet (F-mount) used on Nikon DSLRs. Check that your camera uses this mount before ordering.

Do I need anything else to connect to my telescope?
You'll also need a T-adapter or nosepiece that threads into this ring's T-2 thread and fits your telescope's focuser.

Is it just for astrophotography?
Mainly, but the standard T-2 thread also lets you connect a Nikon body to compatible microscopes.
