Hi Jaicoa


Great Shot

How did you get in so close to photograph it. I am looking for something to buy for the scope that I can go deep in the moon, my attachment only lets me photo the moon in whole

Thanks

Thanks Starchild, Andy and Chrissy. To your question StarChild my equipment consisted of a DMK Ccd camera with a TeleVue 3x barlows to really bring it up close but more difficult to image higher mag = more noise and distorsion due to my tropical weather. I would start with a 2x barlows and a Phillips Toucam (840) web Cam. Clear Skies to All and thanks again.

That little DMK is really a very nice camera. Great shot.
