  1. Ah great, fantastic guys, answered my queries and added an extra bit of knowledge! (happy-kat). Love this forum, again thanks so much. I think I'll buy the barlow for now, just to get to grips on DSLR imaging until I can afford a better scope as it's only £20. Thanks for going the extra mile goose, pictures and all.
  2. I'm using the DSLR in the normal way, attaching a T-Ring and attaching the T-Adapter to the T-Ring, no eye piece attached. Webcam isn't designed for imaging no, but it does give images, just not that great - See below (I celotape the webcam to the Eye Piece) (Sorry for no crop, at work.) With the 8MM eye piece it is out of focus, almost no surface detail. Would the barlow give more detail than the above? When taking photos with the DSLR? See below for a picture with only the DSLR, no scope. (Sorry for no crop, at work.)
  3. Can't seem to edit my post, also noticed this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Celestron-Telescope-Camera-Adapter-Barlow/dp/B00009X3UV/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423130104&sr=8-1&keywords=celestron+barlow+t+adapter Or is it the same thing?
  4. Hey all, I recently bought a basic T adapter and ring for my DSLR but it just doesn't seem to focus, after research I found that it will be very hard with just a normal T-Adapter as these newtonions aren't suited for it (Not long/big enough), better to use a webcam. However I'd still like to give it a shot as naturally DSLR's will give better image quallity, I noticed this: http://www.firstlightoptics.com/celestron-eyepieces/celestron-2x-universal-125-barlow.html Will this work/aid the DSLR and is it worth buying or shall I just wait until I get a bigger scope? I don't mind spending the £24 if it will work to get my first basic images. I tried using a webcam which worked fine with a 25mm eyepiece (Moon imaging) but anything 10mm or below it doesn't focus enough, even with manual focusing (Microsoft Lifecam 5001). Which brings me to my next question. Should I be using a webcam with an eyepiece or should I just use it like a T-Adapter with no eyepiece attached? Thanks!
