Attaching a barlow to a camera

[kelly324]

Hi! I’m sorry if this is a silly question, but could anyone please tell me whether it’s possible to connect this barlow lens (Achromatic 3X Barlow Lens Pro Slokey SkyWays - Superior Optical Quality with FMC and Anti-Reflective Treated Lens for a Sharp, Crisp, Clear Image - Super Light, Compact and Durable (1.25") https://amzn.eu/d/g493V99) to this camera (Svbony SV105 Telescope Camera 1.25 inches, 2MP USB2.0 CMOS Digital Astronomy Camera, Electronic Eyepiece for Beginners Planetary Lunar https://amzn.eu/d/d3gmnK3) or any other 1.25” eyepiece without the assistance of an adapter?

Thank you so much for your help

If those are meant to be links embedded, they don't work for me.

Generally, a Barlow attaches to an eyepiece of the same size (1.25" or 2") without any kind of adapter. Some Barlows have removable elements that can screw into the filter thread of an eyepiece too, again with no adapter. Generally, you'll need some sort of adapter (or adapters) to fit one to a camera body though.

Your links link back to this thread.  Please correct them so we can better answer your questions.

To connect a Barlow to a camera, you'll need the following:

1. A T-ring for your camera:

2. Unless your Barlow has T-threads, you'll also need a 1.25" to T-thread nosepiece adapter:

3. Thread the 1.25" nosepiece into the T-ring, attach the T-ring to DSLR's mount, and then insert the assembly into your Barlow.

Generally, Barlows won't work with cameras with fixed lenses like cellphone cameras, all-in-one cameras, and P&S cameras.

Since that dedicated astrophotography camera comes with a 1.25" nosepiece, it should slot straight into the 1.25" opening of the Barlow where an eyepiece would normally go.
