Astrophotography with a 10" dob

Hi there,

I'm having a bit of trouble focusing with my new setup, hoping someone can help! After finally getting myself a Canon 700D, a T-adapter and T-ring, I hooked up my 10" dob, pointed it at Jupiter, and took a few beautiful photos of my primary mirror.

After a quick look on youtube, I saw a video where someone with the same problem had bought a 2x barlow lens and sorted their problem out. I spent $60 for a saxon 2x barlow, stuck it in, pointed my gear at Jupiter again, and achieved the same results.

So, is there anything I can do to avoid buying a 2" barlow lens and T-adapter? Has anyone else found a solution to this?

If it's of any interest, my scope has a focal length of 1200mm.

Thanks!
