New Main: Camera Projection Lens + Adapter

A camera projection lens, also known as a camera lens or photo lens, is a type of lens that is commonly used in astrophotography to capture images of celestial objects. These lenses are typically designed to provide high-quality, sharp images with minimal distortion, and they are often used in combination with a telescope or other imaging equipment.

The use of a camera projection lens in astronomy allows for higher-quality images than can be obtained with a simple eyepiece projection method. The lens is typically mounted on a camera, which is then attached to a telescope or other imaging device, and the image is captured directly onto a camera sensor or film.

There are a wide variety of camera projection lenses available on the market, ranging from relatively inexpensive consumer-grade lenses to high-end professional lenses designed for use in astrophotography. When selecting a lens for astronomy, it is important to consider factors such as focal length, aperture, and image quality.

Some popular types of camera projection lenses used in astronomy include wide-angle lenses, which are useful for capturing images of larger objects such as the Milky Way or constellations; telephoto lenses, which provide higher magnification and are useful for capturing images of smaller objects such as planets and galaxies; and zoom lenses, which offer variable focal length and can be useful for a wide range of imaging applications.
