My scope is a LX200GPS 10" f/10 UHTC. I want to do some eyepeice projection astrophotography using my canon digital rebel. My goals are to image Mars,Jupiter and Saturn at around 300x-400x magnification.
I was thinking of using maybe a 6-8mm eyepeice.
One thing is, right now I am using a 10mm plossl and a 2x celestron short barlow and I was wondering if using a 5mm eyepeice alone would give me a sharper image ??????

Here is my best attempt at jupiter, 1 raw shot eyepeice projection using a 10mm no name plossl.

Thanks
John
