A barlow lens will make the image scale larger (ie: more "zoomed in") rather than smaller (ie: more "zoomed out"). Is that what you want to achieve ?

 

 

Ah no - it's the opposite I was hoping for. Hopefully I'll have more luck with some planets! I've included a very amateur video I shot of the moon recently, I just wanted to pan/zoom out a bit to capture the whole thing

Hi everyone,

Hope you don't mind me resurrecting this thread. I recently purchased one of these cameras and (for the money) it's decent. The only issue I have is the supplied lens that comes with the camera seems to be quite zoomed in (guessing this is a 10mm?).

I've tried various camera software to digi zoom out to no avail.

I tried playing around by connecting a lens from my telescope (skywatcher 200p) but they don't seem to fit. I read that the camera can be combined with a barlow lens - are these slightly different than the lenses that come with the skywatcher?   (1.25"): 10mm & 25mm

Thanks :)
