First Prom photo with PST and standard DSLR

[melsky]

It's a bit rubbish compared to you guys but I finally figured a way of getting my unmodded Canon 550D on to my little PST. Stack of 30 images in PhotoShop.

Cheers Mel

Great shot for a DSLR with its handicaps of shutter shake & poor sensitivity in Ha!

Very nice result!

Registax stacking and wavelets might pull out even more detail!

Nice Mel, no rubbish certainly.

Great result Mel, and i'm sure it would be of interest to quite a few how you managed to get the dslr attached, got any details? I'd love to hear by PM if so

[steppenwolf]

Well done, Mel, I think you have done really well with this one.

Hi Mel great shot, yes I'd like to hear how you managed to get focus with the PST and DSLR. I've tried, but figure I need to pear down the eye piece holder to get the camera in close enough.

Weiller gives details of his built-in barlow solution.

Thanks for all the comments people, in answer to TJ & Tom OD's question about how I took this with a DSLR I used an old Kowa photo adapter which was modified to 1 1/4 push fit by my soon to be wife Antonia (she's an aircraft engineer). I'd tried using barlows and Powermates without being able to achieve focus, the Kowa photo adapter hasn't been used for years, I bought it at the same time as I got my TSN-4 scope (77mm fluorite cracker) so I thought why not give it a go. Below is a full frame shot using this equipment and a photo of the adapter.

Thanks Mel
