Hello everyone,
I have an old but very well-preserved MEADE ETX-125. Due to the relatively large focal length of 1900mm, I would like to use it to get into planetary photography. However, I would also like to add a Barlow lens.
And here is my problem: I don't know which lens is suitable. I have a 2x lens that fits into the 1.25" focuser. But that doesn't help me. I screw my camera (ASI 294mc pro) onto the back of the telescope using the camera adapter (which came with the telescope). That works very well and I have already taken pictures of M51, for example. I just don't know how to install a Barlow lens in the optical path.
Does anyone have the same telescope and can help me? I would really appreciate it.
Best regards and CS
John Esser
