Northumberland moon

How do you set that up please? I thought the telescope's own eyepiece lens would be sufficient. Do you put the telescope on the front like a super adapter?

I'll happily answer your questions and Geordie01 too. The simple answer is I have a variety of bits and bobs which can screw together in umpteen different combinations. It's a Heath Robinson approach rather than a technical one. I'm still looking for the best combination, I have made some progress but the shots aren't yet good enough. I'll start a different thread later on once I've had a chance to take a few more shots, noting what bits I used. For me it's not about some shots being better than others, I can easily find photos which are miles better than mine. Father Ted takes the best Moon shots on this site. It's the process of photographing the night sky and observing that I enjoy more than the results.

Heath Robinson eh!
I've used his techniques for years; where would we be without his expertise?

Tony,
Something like this perhaps.

No disrespect to FT, but I think you're being way too modest. Your one from yesterday was the best I've seen by far in well over four years here. It wasn't the highest magnification, but the detail and fineness of the lines made me literally gasp.

You seem to have removed it now, but it's precisely because it was so clearly in a different class that I misinterpreted your purpose in posting it.
