Hi Again Chris, I'm still not exactly sure how you've got your camera
connected to the scope. If you are using the complete barlow as part
of the connecting mechanism, unscrewing and removing the barlow's
lens will make the moon much smaller, and nicely framed. If you are
using the barlow separately, just don't use it, and the moon's apparent
size will be halved. In astrophotography focus is critical; assuming that
your optics are o.k. your focus is a bit off. Needs a lot of care. As I don't
know what shutter speed you used, I can surmise that if it was too slow,
the moon's movement might have contributed to the apparent soft
focus. If you still have problems, post a pic of your camera to scope
set up. It might help IIS members put you on the right track.
