Unlike in some forums around, were people blow wind up each others proverbials,  I am after some constructive criticism and some tips on how to get it right. I know my images are not that good, any help would be appreciated.

I am currently using a Cannon 1000 D on live view and I have a 1.25″ t adaptor mounted to my 2x Barlow (with lense screwed off). Is this good enough or do I also need an extension tube to help gain better focus.The barlow is about 30mm long minus the lens cell.

For all suggestions on Software Apps I run a MAC Powerbook G4 PC not Intel.

Regards

First image still a lot of work to do in aligning my mount but will get there eventually.
