New equiptment, help!


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I recently bought a 2x barlow lens with T tread, which connects to a Canon EOS T ring. I Connected the Barlow and ring together, with the camera also attached. When I tried to take some photo's a few nights ago, they were all VERY magnified and zoomed in. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to attach a lens somewhere? Also is it possible to attach my 0-III Filter?

My telescope is: Sky Watcher Auto tracking Skyliner 250-P Flextube F/1200 dob.

What are you trying to photograph? The barlow doubles your FL which takes you to a gigantic 2.4 metres. You could only use this on solar system objects, ideally with a webcam. You couldn't use the Dob on deep sky seriously at any focal length, let alone 2.4 metres, because of tracking and field rotation issues.
