How to make the C mount cameras working with an astronomy telescope
For amateurs, take astronomy photos need different kinds of adapters. Today we will talk about the 2020 new arrival sv163 C-mount adapter.
Firstly, we have 3 size C-mount adapters;
1.25 inch to C-mount adapter
2 inch to C-mount adapter
M42 standard threads to C-mount adapter
What is C mount ?
A C mount is a type of lens mount commonly found on 16 mm movie cameras, closed-circuit television cameras, machine vision cameras and microscope phototubes.
C-mount lenses provide a male thread, which mates with a female thread on the camera.
The thread is nominally 1.000 inch (25.4 mm) in diameter, with 32 threads per inch, designated as "1-32 UN 2A" in the ANSI B1.1 standard for unified screw threads.
The flange focal distance is 17.526 millimetres (0.6900 in) for a C mount.

How to use the sv163 C-mount adapters?
for example, the svbony sv305 camera is designed with 2 adapters, the threads on the sv305 camera body is C-mount female threads, so you could add the SV163 adapter to the SV305 camera directly. then put the camera with adapter into your telescope tube. no matter you have the 1.25 inch, 2 inch telescope or the M42 threads telescope tube, the 3 size sv163 C-mount adapter will help you connecting them well.
see the following pictures.
picture 1; SV305 camera with 1.25" C-mount adater
picture 2: SV305 camera with 2" C-mount adater
Picture 3: SV305 camera with C-mount adater to M42 threads
All in all, you could use this adapter with all your C-mount movie cameras, closed-circuit television cameras, machine vision cameras and microscope phototubes.
If you don't have a astronomy camera, you could use other cameras working with your telescope. this is also a way to start your astrophotography interest. hope this will help you.
Do you think these will be useful adapters?

Just bought an SV305. I love it! It came with a c-adaptor. I have several C-mount lenses, but the male threads on all of those lenses will not thread into the female threads on the adaptor? The adaptor female threads are not c, and not filters? The ma

Hi, I recenlty bought a SV305 camera and works great, my NextStar 4SE telescope has threaded port (1.375" - 24TPI) in the back of the rear cells to conect 35 mm cameras , but I'd like to know if there's and adaptor to attache the SV305 camera in that port

Sorry, we do not have the adapter for this interface. If we update later, I will notify you in advance.
