Use of Barlows and Powermates with astrophotography
Hi Guys,

It feels like a stupid question because whenever I google it I never get a straight answer.

Can you use a Barlow or a Powermate for astrophotography with a DSLR?

For example using a 80ED with a 2x televue powermate and then the T ring and DSLR.

Also, if you can is there anything that a beginner should know about the advantages/disadvantages of Barlow vs Powermate?

Thanks, Matt
