barlow operating with extension's for increased magnification (2x, 3x, 4x , 5x)

[Kitsunegari]

have not imaged in awhile due to terrible sky conditions.  Sahara desert sand and wildfire smoke has turned my local atmosphere into a rippling  mess.  (yes the sahara desert made it all the way to the central usa!)

 

I wanted to try out some extended barlow distances today;  so i did.    Test was done using a celestron luminos 2.5x with a basler 1920-155um camera.  I added extensions before the camera in 50mm increments to adjust magnification factor;    I did not spend much effort processing the image's; 

i will attempt to use  6x , 7x and 8x tomorrow.

They work very well indeed  I wish I had your seeing (and some actual sunshine  )
