I have a DeepView 2" 35mm, perhaps it would work? I need to look into this adapter. I'd even come across this vendor before, but now I have some first-hand information. I'll move this to the top of my list. -------------------- C8 on AS-CG5 mount Orion 127 mak C80ED Canon XSi Sony HD videocam Celestron Neximage Post Extras:       rg55 member Reged: 08/02/08 Posts: 96 Loc: western US Re: Eyepiece projection systems & Canon XSi [Re: Mobius1]       #3399139 - 10/19/09 10:44 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Martin, have you had a chance to put some of the pix online? Would love to see this adapter in action.

I mostly use this adapter on the 24" (as prime focus at 8032mm is just too insane for me), and have some pics both in my gallery and the DSLR forum (look for Albireo, M57, M42, all done with my Rebel and the Maxview on the 24"). I also used the Deepview 35mm and it worked quite well, I used it to image Uranus and Neptune when I needed a bit more power (those images are in the solar system forum, recently posted). I simply used longer EPs most of the time to get the widest views possible with the 24", and to have the EP lens as close as possible to the camera sensor. -------------------- Martin William Optics 66SD Orion 100ED Orion 120-ST EQ PST-Ha Celestron CGE 1100 Canon Rebel XSI with Astronomik filters DSI-IIC Homemade spectroscope in progress...
