Decided to have a wee try at using a 5x and 2x barlow on the Moon last Sunday night , before I had to pack away. T'was real fun focusing it , lol .

Pretty good, nay very good, for 10x with the 450d Pete... The multiply not add.

That's remarkably good for a DSLR and a whole stack of barlows!

Really ! never knew that John , thanks . As said elsewhere, it is now time to start using the QHY5v, as I honestly think I have pushed the EOS to its absolute limits.

I have been really busy for most of the Summer and have not had the time I would have liked for astronomy. Hopefully , now things have ( kinda ! ) settled down I can play more .

Probably very true ! The 2x is a celestron ultima sv series . Can't wait to try the TV with the QHY5v .
