Thank you so much for that great idea Alan64 I will try that when I receive my 3x and 5x barlow lenses and I'll let you know my results. I found a few on Amazon and EBay. I ordered the scope from EBay which is a celestron 130 SLT computerized model which I got a great deal on it($275) it came with a hard carry case and a collimation eyepiece, plus a couple of extra lenses but I was surprised there were no barlow lenses. I think even my first telescope that was a cheap WalMart refracting 90mm Meade came with a 2x barlow which I still have floating around in some random junk drawer I think. It's Cheap plastic but still did the job. This SVBONY brand seems really great. I ordered two lenses from them and they were incredible in quality for being priced so affordably well. That was a surprise! The 2x barlow was from them as well. Their 25mm was much better than the 25mm celestron that came with the scope both in clarity and composition. Again than you and everyone who helped me with this question.

Yes the scope I'm using was listed in my message it's a 130 slt Newtonian same as what you pictured. I did use a 2x barlow lens which the camera fit into perfectly and the height was perfect for it. It came in perfect. So I figured out on my own most of what everyone had responded back to me. If the 2x barlow worked then I'm going to get the 3x and 5x for some extra magnification. That should be enough I hope. I'm new to this forum but maybe I'll share with everyone the pics I got my first night out with the camera. I think they came out great!

I'm brand new to this and I'm wondering how do I connect different size eyepieces to get different magnifications with my SV Bony 205 camera? I tried every search I could think of and I can't find any adaptors for it or any mention of anything like an adaptor that goes between the camera and the lens into the scope. I tried every combination of searches I could think of. This all started after I received the camera and looked at it and then tried to fit a 9 mm lens in it somehow and for the life of me I cannot figure it out. Am I missing something? Do I unscrew the bottom of the lens or take off the rubber over the top of the eyepiece? Can someone show me pics of how they have theirs setup with barlows and lenses or just a lense. Thank you for any advice you might have.
