Here (at last) are the Moon shots, first clear(ish) night for weeks. First the 1500mm scope.

So, that's what the hidden face of the moon looks like.

Congratulations for your photos! I would like to create the same photos but I'm stucked a little bit with focal length settings. I'm using Pentax Q + T2 with Skywatcher 80/400 mm telescope. What kind of focal lenght do I need to set up when I turned on my camera? 400mm? 400mm+T2 lenght? and what I need to setup when I'm using my stuff with 2x barlow lens with T2 mount? Beacuse I can not perfectly focusing with my scope for Pentax Q camera! Please help me! Thank you in advance!

You don't need to set the focal length at all which is for the purposes of the shake reduction system. You won't be using that since you have the camera on a tripod

Good to know that function refers to it and not any influance on focusing. Thank you for your help!
