  3. Hi Carole I was trying it with my cannon m5 since it's a mirrorless camera and extreamly light but it wouldn't take a pic without a lens on. I do have the t ring attachment but I belive I ordered the wrong on its 3 inches in length....I'm not sure if the camera was still trying to focuse after I focused with the scope...its all sounding so confusing lol...I ordered a smaller t ring going to look into a Bahtinov mask...I know nothing on how to do this having a blast trying to learn thanks to all for advice andy
  4. Thanks Dave! So many different explanations on how to do it...so many say to change the aperture good to know...ya I have been using the scope to focus just been having a issue with the camera wanting to auto focus trying to find that setting lol....it says it's in mf but still tries to af and the t ring I got is way to long I ordered the right one...do you know if theres anything else I need? So threads say to add a barlow lens is that true? Some also say to order a focuser attachment?
