Thank you for the details with respect to the image train. I ended up buying a TS Optics 80 mm Photoline f6 Triplet as the Skywatcher Evostar 72 kept on being delayed. But I'm still confident that for the price the Skywatcher is a fantastic telescope which your pictures all ready show.

Very Impressive, I'm currently waiting for my Evostar 72 to arrive as they are in backlog at the moment. When it arrives I would like to start out trying to take pictures like you of the planets and the moon if possible using a 1 1/4" 2xBarlow I have and a Canon DSLR with a T-ring. But I have a couple of questions regarding your imagetrain: Did you use a 2" or a 1 1/4" Barlow and did you use any special eyepice projection adapters? Did you add an extension tube in order to achieve and if so what length was necessary? I hope it will be possible to use the following immagetrain: Telescope focus tube -> 2" extension tube, length x -> 2" to 1 1/4" adapter -> 2x Barlow with tread for T-ring -> T-ring -> DSLR Michael
