You can still use an incompatible camera model with the RASA 8, but you will need to purchase custom camera adapters from a third party rather than using the Celestron adapters. However, it is important to note that It will be difficult (if not impossible) to create an adapter for one of these incompatible mirrorless cameras without causing some vignetting(i.e. light loss) at the corners of the frame. This is because the camera adapter will need to be designed narrower (i.e. with a smaller diameter) than the Celestron adapter to prevent the mechanical interference, which will block some of the light collected by the RASA 8 from reaching the edges of the sensor. Also, keep in mind that the RASA was designed with a 32mm usable image circle, so any Sony or Canon mirrorless camera that uses a full-frame sensor (i.e. 43mm diagonal) will have some vignettingand performance loss at the edge of the frame regardless of the camera adapter with which it is used
