Kit for DSLR with 130PDS and 2" eyepieces

[ace2029]

Hello all!

A very quick question as I think I'm getting baffled by the science and I'd really appreciate the benefit of your experience and advice.

I've just upgraded from the 130P to the 130PDS and Skywatcher EQ3-2 Delixe mount.

I have the 1.25" barlow with T thread and T Ring for my DSLR.

Are there ways to mount the DSLR to 2x or even 3x barlows with the 2" focuser?  I thought I had some idea what I was doing but the new size focuser has really thrown me.  So far loving the 130PDS and EQ3-2 mount though; just hoping for a clear sky so I can get first light through the new scope!

Many thanks,

Andy

You probably need a 2" nosepiece like this one http://www.firstlightoptics.com/adaptors/flo-2-inch-t-mount-camera-adapter.html .

Thanks Peter - how would I use a 2" barlow with this?

The nosepiece drops into the barlow just like an eyepiece.

I can't believe i just asked that.  I really can't.  Still got a lot to learn!

Thanks Peter, much appreciated!

Hi

Is that just for the Moon/planets?
