## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to attach a dlsr camera?**
A: You can attach a DSLR using an appropriate T-Ring (i.e. one to match your type of camera body - we sell canon, nikon, sony etc) direct to the back of this scope. No other adapters are required.

**Q: will the127SLT fit onto a table or plinth rather than the tripod ?**
A: Stick to a tripod

**Q: Did you get the the sky cd rom astronomy software? i didn't. do you need it to use the telescope?**
A: I don’t think I did, but even if I did, I have never used it and the telescope works perfectly without it. Nothing more is needed than a power supply and the hand control, which is a mini computer itself and will operate the telescope. The firmware for the handset can be updated via a usb connection though.

**Q: Do i need a computer to download the database**
A: The Nexstar database is pre-installed on the handset that plugs into the mount and doesn’t need to be connected to a computer at all. You can connect to a computer to update the firmware or to provide some extra controls if you wish, but it is by no means necessary. I have never connected mine to any computer.
