Jupiter in October with Moons

This was kind of a weird experiment that paid off in some ways and was a let down in others.

I took the eyepiece projection tube off and screwed the eyepiece-holder directly into the T-Mount on the Sony NEX. Then, I unscrewed the actual lens from a 2x Barlow and screwed it as an extension onto the now, camera-attached eyepiece holder.

Eyepiece project without an eyepiece :)

The Barlow - direct to camera combination definitely got us closer and pulled in some of the moons but it seems to have cost some detail in Jupiter. Still, I thought it worth sharing…
