The camera side connection for the Lepus 0.62X telecompressor is a broad dovetail known as the OPTEC-2100 . The proper back-focus distance to the camera image plane is maintained with Optec's custom camera-specific Lepus mounts available separately below. The OPTEC-2100 interface also allows easy connection to the Pyxis 2" rotator in place of the standard 2-inch nosepiece. When connected to the camera, Lepus will appear as a long 2-inch nosepiece that fits into any 2-inch focuser or eyepiece receiver.

Special DSLR adapters are available from stock for Canon and Nikon cameras which hold and maintain the 100mm on-axis back-focus distance.

The Lepus can be used with other telescope designs but is not parfocal. Therefore, some re-focusing will be required. Performance is not guaranteed with all telescope optical designs and the Lepus is not recommended for use with Ritchey-Chretien telescopes.

Note that the #19407 Lepus - Standard Edition does not include a camera specific mount.
