Its getting better :)

Much happier with todays image

That looks great.

Yes - focus looks pretty good and exposure seems good too, you can see the banding on the disk if you examine closely: now all you need to do is put a barlow in the train to up the image scale, and then you'll really be cooking....!:icon_salut:

Brilliant Earl thats pretty much the same as what I achieved in April see here http://stargazerslounge.com/imaging-planetary/102511-1st-saturn-22-04-2010-a.html . Its been clouds ever since for me

Agree with Kokatha everything looks good just need to scale up the image a bit , your sure on the right track keep at it .

How do I use the Barlow? im using my DSLR at Prime focus for this, can I find a way of attaching the camera and use Lenses?

[myk68]

nice image and i believe theres some banding visable to. lovely

[myk68]

youd need to look for an eyepeice projection tube. one of the others may be able to point you in the right direction

Nicely done Earl...

For the barlow, it depends on how you are attaching the camera to the scope. If it's on T Thread, then obviously a normal barlow can't be used. If you have a T thread to ep nose piece, pop that in... You'll get something like 2.5x out of a 2x barlow as the lens to sensor distance is bigger than normal... The other option is a camera teleconverter, then fit it to the T thread.

even more meritous seeing it was taken with the dslr....!:icon_salut:

I made a device by cutting a 2" generic extension tube off at the stepped in position and skimming out a recess to fit another compression band just inside this truncated end.....it now is a 2" tube with a brass compression band at both ends and can take a 2" to 1&1/4" reducer in backwards at the front end to hold a barlow.....

As someone has said, the distance from barlow rear to sensor determines the magnification ratio.....but I see you have a Neximage - why don't you try recording an avi with that camera and stacking etc the resultant frames.....if you can achieve this image with a dslr at primary you might just surprise yourself with the webcam and barlow - a much easier pair to combine....!
