Guest CSharmy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have a 10mm and 25mm, I tried but couldn't get anything:/ is the barlow supposed to to just have like a tiny pinhole in the bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi Chris, a warm welcome to EMS. There should be quite a hole in the base of the Barlow, you should be able to see through it, it doesn't have a dust cap on does it? Just a thought. In the meantime enjoy the forum.

Guest CSharmy Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 it's got the tiniest of holes and I thought it was a dustcap but I screwed it off and the cap has the lens part in it, I'll have another little play around when I get back from college and let you know.Thanks for all the welcomes!

dawson Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 It's going to be cloudy for the foreseeable future so all of these astronomers will have nothing to do; get one of them to have a look at it for you. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angusw2 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi and welcome to EMS Chris. Good to hear you got the Barlow sorted and are having a stab at imaging, it's a slippery slope and a steep learning curve all in one so good luck! There are plenty of experienced members on here that can help if you have a problem. Good luck with the new scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wraith01mg Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've got the same Barlow mate. It's a clear plastic lens cap, just pull it off, don't unscrew or you'll remove the whole base. Hi and welcome Chris. Good name by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
