Taken with neximage and 2 x Barlow, is it any good ?

[Neo_uk]

very good first attempt but you may get more comments if it had been posted in planetary imaging and not in the solar section.

keep up the good work !

well done sir,

better than my effort with a camera costing 4 x the price of yours and a bigger aperature scope, there`s alot to be said for those skywatcher 130`s, it was my first scope and sometimes i wish i had kept it as they are so portable and give such good results,

keep up the good work !

Thanks for the replies, Is their a way I can increase image size without losing resolution or will I need to buy a 3x barlow to achieve this ?

[red dwalf]

you can increase the size by using a 3,4, or even 5x barlow, but this makes the field of view very small and so difficult to get the image onto the small camera chip, i tried with a 3 x barlow when i had my 130p and it is hard, or you could go down the route of eyepiece projection, i have no knowledge of how to do this properly.
