Don't know if this will work, there is only one way to find out;)

This is a group of shots taken with my Pentax K100D with a 70-300mm flim lens and a Digital X2 AF teleconverter which gives me 600mm.;)

If i can take such shots with just the camera, i should be able to take even better when i can my telescope up and running.:D

Nice start, WSR. Have you tried cropping the moon out to give it a little more scale?

Hi westsiderailway,

Nice start :)

Feel free to ask if you need advice.

Have fun,

Out of interest, did you use automatic or manual focus?

[westsiderailway]

Auto... the teleconverter has thou connections for auto.

I'd probably be tempted to try to find a better focus manually next time to see if you can obtain a sharper image. Just a suggestion.
