Barlow Basics: Stubby or Long?

University Optics has a 2.8X Klee Barlow that equals a Televue Powermate for one third the cost. Just buy the damn thing and enjoy!

Moon with TOA130 and 2x Barcon, 20D

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

Beautiful shot. BUT----why image in color when the moon is only shades of grey? Black and white mode allows you the same resolution with far smaller file sizes.

There is a curious structure at the bottom right of your excellent mosaic. Any idea of what we are seeing?

Looks great on my 17 inch LCD. Beautiful shot. Thanks to people like you I can see, and enjoy things my Questar 3.5 can't provide.

Are you talking about Grapevine? We're seeing lots of critters here in Euless as we live on the edge of Little Bear Creek.

Red dot over the Moon

Posted By Ron Streetenberger

It has to be a problem with your sensor. Take a shot of a white piece of printer paper and the red spot will appear there as well. Don't use flash.

Very interested in adapter for telescope

Eyepiece projection, or through the eyepiece photography, is better suited to digital photography. Best results are obtained when the diameter of the outer eyepiece glass is larger than the diameter of the outer glass on the camera lens. The attached photo was taken by a Canon A70(3.2 megapixel)camera through a Brandon 24mm eyepiece on a Questar 3.5" scope.
