Magnification appears low through DSLR?

Hi all,

I am waiting on the delivery of a mount for my refractor but couldn't help hooking up the full frame canon DSLR to the OTA to check out the magnification. I used a T ring adapter, extension tube and field flattener and when looking through the live view was expecting allot more magnification than what was there. The scope is a 105 aperture f7 and after looking at all the magnificent pictures taken with scopes both larger and smaller in aperture than mine I was wondering how possibly these pics are taken? Do people use barlows? Or am I missing something here?

any help answering this appreciated

Heath
