Description

Using just the 3x Barlow with the Logitech c270 HD produces better (sharper) results than I was able to get with stacked Barlows with the old LPI camera. Of course, I can’t control the seeing and that may have been a factor too. I tried stacking Barlows with the Logitech camera as well, but couldn’t get a nice sharp focus with that configuration tonight.
