Hi Mike,

Prime Focus. I connect the camera to the telscope using a "Canon EOS T-Ring" and a "SCT Prime Focus Adapter". The T-Ring connects to the camera (in place of a lens) and the SCT adapter connects to the telescope. They are both available from Bintel

It's all very sturdy and works well. The planet size is also magnified when using the EOS movie crop mode.

To magnify the planet even more, I would probably need the Powermate as suggesed by Carl.

Cheers,
Mark
