on a EQ mount but no motor as of yet go t to save the pennies for that being a 75 year old pensioner have to be carefull

lol i am not sure who i am talking to now.ok state of play is i took camera out of live view aligned scope view finder to scope i hope pasistiond scope to some tv antennas about 250 yards away placed camera on viewfind vie canon eos rig and t piece ,using scope focus ring i got the antennas into image took a photo and hey presto antennas in photo

lol Yes it was you i was talking to.I am useless at this is it Happy Cat?

OK i have several people helping me here i really appreciate this but can only concentrate on one person at a time.Brown Dwarf following you at the mo.What have i done well i took the camera out of live view.I then used a tv antenna to put mny scope on then got mytelescope view finder linked to that in the cross hairs Next i attached the cannon eos ring to camera with the T piece,inserted camera into scope and i can see those tv antennas after jugling with the focus control.that is as far as i have gone oh i took a photo the antennas are in it,camera set on M

opps yes i was in live view.you say adjust camera to see some thing in live view unsure on that part,why would i be doing that in live view if live view is stopping me seeing any thing ?Sorry am new to all this

Hi Bottle actualy i was connected to scope like you suggested photos enclosed,i do not understand why i am seeing nothing at the other end,i would have thought even if i just looked into it i would see something even if out of focus,it is i have left the cover on my scope on and no i have not lol,it has to some thing with the camera setting which i know nothing about

OK i was up and in garden at 3.30 this morning as there was a break in the sky moon was visable.Now as far as scope goes all working fine but am unsure on the 2x Barlow that came with the scope seems to do nothing.Canon 40D i used this and got nothing at all,the setting i put on the camera are probaly way out,what i know about cameras you can write on a postage stamp.Setting where live view shutter speed 2500 ISO 500.The focus i got was zero nothing at all in camera eyepiece,i tried putting the Barlow to help but achieved nothing. ( is it poss the barlow that came with scope is rubbish?)Image below is what i saw in camera eyepiece.Yes i did use the focus know on scope.I cant experiment with camera as i only have the body.

Very nice photo Alan,can you tell what setting you used on the 40D,i bought mine body only

Ak ok am new to all this will hope for a clear sky tonight and retry on the moon

No i did not not sure how to to be honest,seeing as sky has been cloudy i decided to try it out on some trees just to see how camera works.

I have a canon 40D yes it is a old camera now but good enough to photo the moon,i have couple to the scope via a EOS ring and a T adapter.Now the skies of late have been grim so i decided to take a pic of some trees.All the photos where out of focus,was wondering why.What advisable setting would any have as rgrds to the camera

Hi i have just purchased a canon 40D body at a very good price to use on my Explorer 150,now i have windows 10 which refuses to reconise the camera (does windows 10 reconise any thing ?)so i need a alternative to upload my photos from camera to pc any ideas please
