Telescope Macro Lens

[Darren]

So i got a bit of mad genius in me, tottally out of this world crazy ideas that sometimes work
Can you turn a telescope into a macro lens?
Well you can turn the eye piece lens into a VERY close range (about 10mm) fixed focal point lens from the Camera adaptor
And add the F stop rings from a lensbaby to give depth of field
What do people think

That's very good question Darren , probably some how you could do it. But the the best is to try with very cheap lens and very cheap telescope.

You can pick up a set of telescope eyepieces from amazon from £15 to £50
The camera telescope adaptor is around £15 without the T mount camera adaptor

If you want to see how easy it is to make

I was bored, and that gets my mind thinking
I know its a bad thing to do
