Q:
Can this adapter be used with a Barska spotting scope to attach a Nikon DSLR? Can the zoom on the spotting scope eyepiece still be used when the adapter is attached?
A:
Unfortunately, the Saxon variable Eyepiece Projection Camera Adapter - 1.25" is designed for telescopes and will not actually work with a spotting scope.
Generally, if you want to take photos with your spotting scope, the DSLR camera plus T-Ring is the best solution.
You can use your zoom eyepiece with the camera if you can remove the rubber bit on the eyepiece to expose a thread which will take a T-ring adapter.

Q:
I am considering purchasing the Saxon Variable Eyepiece Projection Camera Adapter - 1.25", for my Celestron 130slt. Will this allow me to take better pictures than using my current setup of a t-ring adaptor and 2x barlow connected directly to my DSLR?
A:
The Saxon Variable Eyepiece Projection Camera Adapter will allow you to get a longer focal length than what the 2x barlow lens does, and it will also be more variable to suit your needs - hence better pictures. However, it wouldn't be recommended for you to use the adapter along with the Barlow lens as that restricts a lot of light coming through and the images seen through will not be as bright.
