The scope is good but, on a tripod, the effects of any vibration will be magnified ALOT. If you are only interested in lunar photography, you can do good stuff through a small Dob, probably have better stability, and a lot more options. Of course, there are downsides as well and you can read innumerable threads on the topic of "what makes a good scope"

I owned a Black Diamond 120. Nice scope, but same issue. Long OTA equals lots of movement unless the mount is VERY sturdy
