Hi and thanks for the advice What is the "extension" called? I will have a search online.

Oh and advice on a carry case/ holdall would be cool!

Morning, I bought myself an ST-80 refractor, not expensive, just for starters. I had a reflector several years ago but never used it to its potential. Any way few questions if possible! I am interested in Astrophotography and ordered the Canon EOS connector, went out and had a play with my 80D attached and came away pretty happy with a few moon shots. However it was difficult to get focus, even with the focuser wound right out, I had to loosen and unscrew the "barrel" that the eyepiece holder fits into, so are there extentions? I also have a Canon 600D I also attempted Venus, well it was an astro blob!! So advice here please! Also "doable" photography targets with this setup would be appreciated. What accessories would make the experience more enjoyable for both the viewing and pkjotography side? Came with a red dot finder scope 12mm and 26mm Plossl eyepieces and an AZ mount. I live in South London (Don't hold it against me!!) so light pollution is an issue. I'd also like to meet others that I can learn from so pointers there as well! Apologies for asking so many questions!
