Hello :)i wrote that message to ask information about the the possibility of finding a filter holder that allows me to put a 2" filter and use this telescope with a DSLR because as Svbony already confirmed to me, I cannot use the sv226 filter holder with this telescope combined with a DSLR.

- Is there any filter holder that would work for me?

-Is there a chance that svbony will still modify the telescope or will there be a version 2 that will fix the problem ?

i asked to svbony that message:

Hello :)

I want to ask if it is possible to use a filter drawer as the Sv226 or any other filter drawer of the same dimension with the telescope Svbony Sv555 combined with a DSLR ?

because here in that video review but also in any other review don't looks possible to use the sv226 filter drawer with a DSLR but only dedicated astro camera as the Zwo Asi 2600 or similar !

Can you please give me the definitive confirmation or denial that I can use Svbony sv555 + sv226 with a DSLR or Mirrorless camera ?

here are sold together but is not clear to me if is compatible with a DSLR.

they said that:

Dear customer,

Sorry for your all inconvenience.

There is no way to use sv226 + dslr simultaneously.

It's impossible to focus. The back focal length will exceed 55mm.

If you want to use the DSLR+ with filters, there are two options:

1. A filter can be installed on the SV555's tailpiece. However, this requires removing the screws each time you change it, which is inconvenient.

2. Use a lens filter directly. We currently do not have a filter compatible with this type of filter. You can ask other customers in our group for installation suggestions.

Can some one help me because i wish so much to buy a telescope but i have not find alternatives to that telescope with same price range, image quality and performance.

the only could be the SQa55 but costs twice and i don't like that you have to put the the focuser motor on the side which makes it smaller and more delicate to transport.

Which DSLR? But in general you'd need a T-Thread adaptor with a inner thread of M48x0.75 just to use 2" filters with a DSLR. You'd need to customize one of the various filter drawers with a bayonet flange taken from a disused lens or a lens adaptor.
