Thanks Bert for confirming what my suspicions were!!

Are we talking a large enlargement? ie turning my 40mm (30x) eyepiece into a 6mm (200x). Ideally, i want to test the modified (long exposure) toucam for largish dso's ie orion etc. I want to image at 30 or 40x.

I i leave my toucam lens in, i can do ok with an adapter that clamps the eyepiece to hold everything steady, but this digit system looks so mush easier.

I will take a picture tonight of my setup and post it for you later tonight.

I have a 2" crayford with a 1.25" adapter.

Thanks again
