It is possible a tele converter instead of a barlow to use?
Sorry for my bad english...
I use the Google translator
It is possible a tele converter instead of a barlow lens to use?
I put the 1.4 extender for example on the cam and the T-Ring on the other side of the extender and then to the scope...
Is the distance for sharp pictures okay? I have an 2*Barlowlense but the pics are to dark and i hope with an good 1,4* extender i get more light from the telescope...
I hope you can help with te question
Thanks
Steffen

Actually i don't know if it'll work, but i think this could be some innovative thing in contrail spotting better idea is to buy a TeleVue Barlow...(2'' diametere obviously)

Re: It is possible a tele converter instead of a barlow to u
The Televue powermates are very good and give bright images, in my opinion the televue power mate 2x 2" is one of the best on the market. I own one and it gives very nice images when seeing conditions are good. Of course the down side is the price : http://www.bestelectronic.co.uk/details ... B0039ZICAI
One of my photos using the televue on a 12" 1500mm dobsonian scope: http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n58/ ... G_5254.jpg
Although the meade tele-extender 2x 2" could be a cheaper option, but i have never tried it: http://www.telescopehouse.com/acatalog/ ... r_2__.html

I tried a 1.4x yesterday but I kept getting an ERR 1 on my Canon camera, so I am not sure it is possible. The image looked fine through the viewfinder but couldn't get the camera to take a photo

Err 01 on my camera = Communication between the camera and lens is faulty, clean the lens contacts.

Re: It is possible a tele converter instead of a barlow to u
Hi
Did any one have any success in getting a converter to work on the camera with out a lens?????????????????????????????.
A guy in poland is using a KENKO 1.4 on his camera so you must be able to get over the ERR 1 code on the camera.
I have e-mailed the guy but still waiting a reply.
Do you get MORE light by using a CONVERTER???????????????????????????????.
