The DSLR is a Pentax K10. The issue I have is that when I mount it directly to the focuser there is just not enough travel to get it close enough to get it in focus. I do have an extension tube, but I got closer to focus without it and the focuser as close to the scope as possible, but not quite enough. I do see how a macro setting may assist in this. I just wanted to exhaust all possibilities before having to buy a DSLR with the macro mode
I bought a generic 800mm lens forthe camera and got by on it for a while. I could even get by mounting the camera on top of the scope just to take advantage of the tracking, but I can see that shortly after that I will want to use the scope as a lens.
