Nikon Lens Rig

This is a completely home made Rig so I can use the astro camera on the back of a camera lens. In this case a 105mm Nikon Macro lens so I could take the shots of the Milky way. lens sits in a support at the front and the Camera is a support that I graduated so I can get rotation correct for framing purposes. This has been used on a number of lens as you can see below and worked very well.



300mm D lens



50mm G lens



85mm D lens



The top part is made from a leftover piece of a range hood flue cover to hold the guide scope and allows me to get my hand in to focus the lens. the Flue was very bendy so I had to glue so Aluminum plate to hold the whole thing solid.
