I am not interested in stacking or any computer editing other than cropping ans resizing using Paint (Windows).
In that case, you need to shoot the Moon since it is bright enough for a short exposure shot that won't be blurred by the earth's rotation. Yes, if the camera won't reach focus in the focusser, poke it into a 2" barlow and see what happens!
