How can i take full moon pictures with a GSO680?

Folks....

I can get some pretty decent pictures of parts of the moon with my GSO680, doing eyepiece projection with a 20mm eyepiece and a DLSR....
(well i am happy with them anyway - see attached)

I would like to get the entire moon in one shot - but this scope
won't work with prime focus....(can't focus in far enough)

I don't want to modify the scope in any way...so moving the primary mirror etc is not an option for me.

Is there another way to get a full moon picture in one frame with a scope like this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
