Pages: 1 plav1959 sage Reged: 05/10/07 Loc: Central Florida Solar imaging with Canon T3i       #5535500 - 11/23/12 01:22 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I'm trying to image with Lunt 60 DS and can't get enough infocus. I've got a Scopestuff 2" nosepiece on the camera. I'm using a 1200 blocking filter and Agena Astro 1 1/4 to 2" adapter. I've tried a 2x Powermate plus a Denk OCS and still can't quite rack focus in far enough. Any ideas?

I have read that focus can be achieved with Canon cameras using T ring (aka T mount) on camera and ring connected directly to blocking filter after eyepiece adapter removed.

However, I just barely have enough inward focus, Not sure if the T3i body is larger or deeper. Mar Edited by GooglyEyes (11/24/12 11:45 AM) Post Extras:       Pages: 1
