Hi Sharkbite,
Thanks for your advice, and you are right, this is a good place to be to get perspective on things. Yes, the 400d is a relic, and I still use it for normal photography, but the IR filter removal process looks a bit complex for my worsening eyes. Perhaps another more modern one would be better, will look into that, and perhaps a portable mount that is specific for cameras.
Yes, the field rotation is an issue I have been aware of for a while, although, I do have the opportunity to wedge it up so to speak. The only barlow I have is a Celestron Omni 2x, so not sure if that is suitable at all at this stage, but will experiment.
Yes, I would just be happy to get a few reasonable shots, which was really my only goal here.
When you say you attach the 224, and use the Canon lens, how are you doing that?
Cheers!
