[sharkbite]

Hi all....long time reader 1st time poster!

I recently got a GSO680 Dob and want to use it to take some decent pics of the planets.

I have an adustable t-piece adapter of the type one sticks an eyepiece inside of, and a canon 7d.
The photo attached was taken with a 20mm plossl, using movie mode and stacking the result in registax. seeing was poor to average.
(this was my first attempt so snigger if you must!)

i would like to 'zoom in' a bit closer so registax has more detail to play with, but am torn about the quickest way to get it... (budget is < AUD$200)

I have EP's ranging from 20 to 6mm

i tried with one of those awful 3x plastic barlows and a 15mm EP (wont focus without the barlow) it certainly got closer even if the results were laughable....

with the kit i already have.....would i be better off getting a good quality barlow....

or should i get myseld something like a nexstar and forget using the SLR?

are there any other ways of getting a larger, more detailed image without to much outlay?

Any help would be most appreciated!

Cheers,
