I dont know if I can get enough light out of my scope at 250x with the 2.5 X Barlow and the 10mm lens. These shots were done at 125x using the 20mm and the camera at full 3x optical zoom (digital zoom is crap) and even then, I thought the amount of details were a little disappointing considering the 50-100 shots I took.
I think there may be a camera T ring adapter I can use for the Kodak DX4530 as it has a screw thread around the inside of the lens bit so this may allow me to get a little closer and with less stuffing around than with the camera mount. Lining it up and changing the eyepieces is a pain!.
Having said that, the results arent bad for a $20 adapter and a $250 camera, when lined up, its like having a TV screen on the eyepiece and I can swing the scope around (for Solar System objects only) and target using the screen and the finderscope.
At 7MP the stills should show more detail than the video setting at 640x480 pixels so I dont know if using Registax is on the cards just yet.... Windows movie maker shows me all the frames I have and I can peel these out and fiddle with them quite easily for now. Thanks for the suggestion tho!
