I spotted Bintel discounting
this adjustable eyepiece projection doohickie. Looks like a handy piece of gear I thought, especially at that price. Slot in any eyepiece I fancy, and utilising the built in adjustment capability, take photos with my 1000d, I thought.
WRONG!
Disappointingly, I can only achieve focus with my 8” GSO using the 25mm EP. With the other EP’s I can achieve focus on very close objects but that’s not what I wanted it for. I don’t want to go to the trouble of shifting my primary mirror as I want to use my scopes mostly for visual observing, but I did try using my collapsible dob with a shortened focal length to see if I could get some success that way. No luck there either. Maybe I wasn’t careful enough. I was getting a bit cheesed off with the whole business by then. Anyway, what I would like to ask is,
has anyone cracked using one of these things (subsequent research suggests not, doh!) and if not, why the bloody hell does anyone sell them? Some of them are quite expensive!
