T-Adapter + Eye Piece?

[Aleforge]

I am completely new to Astrophotography and thought I had the basics down, one thing new I have come across searching around the web are people talking about dropping in a eyepiece into their t-adapter then locking the DSLR in over the top? Is this something people do? I was under the impression the scope became the lens for the camera, and at very most you sometimes have to use a barlow to get it to focus? Is this even a real possibility or are other people talking nonsense?

Thank you!

Good question, I wondered this as I've tried screwing an eyepiece on to the t-piece with no joy as the eyepiece is too big.

there are other methods using televiewers (I think).

I believe Telescope house do a 32mm and a 40mm projection eyepiece by revelation.I have the 40mm but only use it for visual.The eye guard can be removed to reveal a standard t-thread.I think they call this a focal photography,hope this helps

Some brands of EP allow a DSLR to be connected so you have the DSLR the EP and then the scope......

This is a Canon 1100D with a Pentax EP ready to fit in the focuser....requires a 42/43mm adapter...

You can use something like this with any 1.25 eyepice or barlow.
