  1. Jason you can by a webcam nosepiece for around £15 they come in either a universal thread that fits most cams, or a designated one, for the Phillips cams, got mine from Rother Valley Optics, but other retailers may stock them
  2. Thanks Goose, have just tried that and seems to work at least on a quick 10 sec exposure from my light polluted skies, stars are looking reasonably sharp, Going to try it on moon later but its not visible from my garden until 1am due to houses blocking it
  3. I just reread the OP and got confused. A webcam will focus fine on a 130, a dslr will not, but it seems he is trying to use a DSLR with an eyepiece, Can you please clarify is that's the case?| As normally with a dlsr you use a T ring adapter and a nose piece instead of an eye piece, it still wont focus on this scope, but at least will make sure we are talking about the same thing. Also just youy the webcam no eyepeice
  4. The 130PDS is a different beats to the 130P you should not have focus issues with the PDS version, as its designed to be used with a dslr, the primary is mounted slightly further up the tube than on the P version
  5. tried that on mine that moves the dslr outwards,, the problem on the 130 with my 1100d and any dslr is not enough inward travel
  6. I have the same issue as the OP and am considering moving the primary but your idea is something I have not tried, Just to clarify are you saying unscrew the lens form the barlow and attach that to the adapter or unscrew the lens from the barlow and attach the barlow?
