Hello~
I was wondering how teleconvertors work with telescopes? I have an Astro-tech 72ED refractor. I have read that TC don't work well with zoom lenses. They work better with prime lenses I hear. The telescope is essentially a prime lens right (still kinda new at this)? So my telescope, which has excellent image quality, should work pretty good with a teleconvertor right?
If anyone has examples of work they have done with the same scope and a teleconvertor, or a similar scope, that would be great to show what it can do.
Also, if they work good. Which 2X is best, and second best..(probably can't afford the best one). I was looking at the Canon one... kinda expensive.. the Sigma one, and the Kenko one. Again, anyone with examples of birds shot with a similar setup and one of those 2X, I'd love to see them.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
