Thanks, Alex. That looks interesting. Would a carpenter be able to do that for me?
Yes, I used a Barlow for a few photos, but I don't really like the photos... They are not 100% rubbish, but I think they could be better with a refractor because refractors are better for moon and planets, particularly considering I can use prime focus. I tried with my dob, but it needs an extension tube, and then it is too much weight and it loses balance, so I lose my target. The attached photos have been taken with a Barlow in afocal mode. I don't really like them, but I don't know how much they can improve in afocal mode with a small dob...
