Hyperion Barlow zoom on an 1100D?

[Mr Moff]

I was just wondering if anyone has tried the Hyperion Barlow zoom on a DSLR for getting some planetary shots?

The description says the Barlow will attach straight to an DSLR and gives up to x6.

I've tried using the field of view calculator with the 1100d and a x5 Barlow on Saturn and it gets reasonably close views.

Any thoughts?

You need an optional adapter to connect a dslr to the Hyperion

Not used it for planetary but it's one of the popular choices for use with the Coronado PST.

Hiya Steve,I didn't mean the Hyperion zoom I meant the Hyperion Barlow zoom.

I was going to try a x4 or x5 Barlow for trying it out on planets but I thought the zoom Barlow looked like it might be good.
