AshleyCUK Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Ok , so i have a fuji x-t2 and ive ordered a Kood T2-FX Adapter for T2/T Mount, so i will also need a T ring to fit onto that which will let me slot it into the focusser? This is the part i dont really understand. Just putting the camera into the focusser wont give me any zoom at all, it will just see what the scope is seeing. So then i need something to let me hook it up to the eyepeices / barlow in order to get the zoom? If i want to try and shoot the Orion nebula for instance, i need my 2x barlow and 26mm eyepeice to see the image i want to photograph. So what do i need to hook the camera up to the eyepeices? Cheers in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I'm not sure why you would want to use a barlow + eyepiece projection on M42 unless you want to zoom in to a specific small area of it. If I understand correctly you are using a 200mm F5 scope so a focal length of 1000mm. Your Fuji X T2 has a 6000 X 4000 pixel APS-C sensor so with that combination M42 will fill the whole image with just focal plane imaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 You will not need anything. Putting it very basically The camera is roughly the same as using a 10mm eyepiece Once you have your image you can crop it to the scale / size you want the final image to be in an image processing software.

AshleyCUK Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 ah awesone, ta. I just assumed that the telescope on its own does no zooming, its just a light bucket. hence the need for the eyepeices and barlows for your eyeball to see anything. Cheers.
