I thought I'd try something different to the normal barlow/ToUcam arrangemnt tonight. Seeing wasn't that good (4/10 maybe) so I had nothing to lose.
This image is a positive projection using a 15mm eyepiece in a meade variable tele extender on the 8" meade. Approximate focal length is 10,000 to 12,000mm, Unfortuntely I couldn't get the colour right. On a good night though I reacon using this technique I could get some decent image scale.
Beside it is my normal image scale
