ETX 70 and canon300

Hi

Just got T-ring for canon and T-Mount SLR Camera Adaptor 1.25. Didnt order the T-adapter for the scope, because the shop in uk wasnt allowed to ship it ouside the country.

The problem is the focus, i have to use the barlow to reach focus when pointing to terrestial objects far away. Without the barlow i can only focus on stuff thats a few meters away.

Would this be different if i got the t-adapter for my scope?

must be my unlucky day today, the flipmirror on the scope lost it tention. It still works, dont think ill start fideling inside there.

Tested taking a picture without the barlow, on a object 3 meters away. Pretty good optics.

manage to focus at objects further away now buy using the back of the scope. Though it gets verry verry heavy on the back then

Here is a test image, object is about 500 meters away and i got lots of "focus" to work with. Taken true a window so not so great.

Normaly you need a extender as the scope is supposed to be used with a star diagonal. These tend to add about 2"-4" between the scope and the T adapter.

Eirik,

I seem to remember that only way I could get both an etx70 and a canon 300d was to get the etx to t-thread ring which screws onto the back of the scope and then the canon t-ring would screw onto it.

However thats was some time ago and my memory isn't what it used to be!

This seems to be true, i got focus when i used the diagonal. But i also tried to hold the camera abow to extend the lenght from the 1,25" on the top. But i found out it should be shorter? Not longer. And that doesnt seem to add up to the extra lenght the diagonal gives.

Ill test some more
