Eyepiece projection

These pictures were taken using the dSLR connected using the revelation eyepiece projection adapter and the cannon T mount adapter. One of the benefits of this setup is the ability to change the eyepiece and therefore the magnification. A disadvantage is the extra glass in between the camera and the object, for the moon and bright objects this is less of a problem. As you can see brightness tails off towards the edge of the image as well, I think this depends on the eyepiece used.



As you can see in the above image the focus is not quite right. It was very hard to focus and I managed to acheive sharp focus on the very top area of the moon but the rest suffered slightly.
