Hi, thanks all. Mount and adapter ordered - also bought a couple of new eyepieces ( 25mm, 7mm ) at the same time. I'll let you know how we get on...nights are getting darker and Saturn is just coming above the horizon for us at a reasonable time

Hi, does anyone know from where I can buy such a mount (Ideally in Europe/EU, but from US/rest of World is fine too) ? The DSLR is one of the Canon EOS models and the scope a Schmidt-Cassegrain Celestron DX6. thanks Ian

So do you recommend I return the eyepiece as not being usable?

Hi, we have a Celestrong StarSense Explorer DX6 Schmidt-Cassegrain as our starter telescope. It is supplied with two eyepieces: a 40mm and a 10mm. So far we've been successful with the 40mm in getting that to focus and general usage of the telescope - the "easy" targets: Jupiter, Pleiades, Orion Nebulae etc - we can view with good clarity and the stars are proper pinpoints. The 10mm however defies all of our attempts to get it focussed - when turning the focus knob on the scope we can at best get a fuzzy shape rather than anything well defined - any ideas or is the eyepiece "broken" in some sense? One piece of advice was to collimate the telescope - as far as I have read and seen this is fine and I guess the problem lies elsewhere and I'm at a total loss to figure out what to do or try THanks in advance,
