Astrophography Newbie
Hi All.
First off - great site. I have spent a bit of time reading trying to understand the basics and was lucky enough (I think) to pickup an old Australian Geographics 900x130 reflector telescope with EQ mount for a cheap price.
I am trying to take photos with a Canon DSLR but am running into a bit of a problem. I bought a Tmount kit for the camera as well as an adapter to mount the camera to the telescope but then I run into trouble. As i try to focus, the telescope focus hits the stop and wont retract any furthur. I have tried fitting a 3x Barlow to see if that works and it does to a certain degree but it magnifies too much.
So my question is, is there any way (other than buying a new telescope as funds are limited) to get the camera to focus?
Thanks in advance.
