Good Stuff Asi - love the pioneer, make use of anything spirit - with that extra length you must be up to almost 3x. If you wanted to work out exactly what you're getting from your barlow now take a look at the article link attached below - i used this to work out what I was getting by using extension tube and/or star diagonal between barlow and webcam. The maths gets a bit heady (for me) but muddled through it. You need to work out your barlow's focal length by playing aroun with focussing light from it onto some card.

Look forward to seeing you put all that new image scale to good use

cheers,
