Thanks Bert,
had a good look at the website, nice stuff.
"When you say prime Focus is suitable for a Wide Field image."
That makes sense for me the noobie say with a 50mm Canon 350d, where the mag is 25x
My toucam has a rough fl of say 5mm, giving magnification of roughly 250x in my 10" x 1250 newtonian. I can only get wide field images ie 30x thru leaving the lens in the toucam and shooting afocally with the platform support of a digiscope.
I had a tough time getting eyepiece projection working (now i know i need an extender) I was under the understanding from the supplier that epp would give me whatever magnification the eyepiece was.
"If you intend to do planetary work, then you need to increase the angular size of the object. A Barlow or 2 can work but your introducing more variables in light transmission through them."
There are some guy here that producing great prime focus work with toucams and barlows

This rumples also produced a ripper Jupiter similiar to your great shot.
Ii supposed i am now confused. I have seen your great images thru epp and similiar great prime focus work on the forum.
We have a star camp in ballarat this friday thru to tuesday. It would be great if you come on out with one of these extenders. There is a buy swap sell and vendors market on the saturday. Hang around for some of the night and 30 odd astronomers can have a look at eyepiece projection???
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!
