    Nice short video to explain the prime focus. The mechanics of camera, T-mount, Barlow tube/lense and how these combine to change prime focus. Many videos gloss over this issue and instead, concentrate on the camera settings. Thanks for that.

    Hi, i am also struggling with that. My question is can I only use barlow lens or I could use 0.5 Focal Reductor because my telescope is already at 900mm + APS-C which is making it unusable for Bigger targets

      I personally have not used one of those screw in focal reducers, so can not comment. But if anyone else has tried this, let us know.
      Used a 2x barlow with my 12" Dob, prime focus which has a 1500mm FL, and got some decent single images of Jupiter using a crop frame EOS.

    Hi! I have a sw150pds and a dslr, focusing is ok, but if I put a 3x barlow between them, I cannot achieve focus(outward problem) what do you recommend fixing this problem? Thank you!

      Compared to the "P" range which needed a barlow for prime focus due to not enough inward travel, the imaging "PDS" version allowed prime focus without a barlow due to a shorter tube. Maybe an extention tube will help

      Thank you! Hopefully I can find the right extension tube for it

      This is prime focus photography set up. No lens (eyepiece) is used

    So technically ur saying that if we use a Barlow lens we can achieve better focus than the normal camera

      No. I am saying if you do not use a barlow with this telescope DSLR prime focus, it will not focus on infinity. All explained from 1.20 - 3 mins
