Hi, I have a Skywatcher 102 mak on a Nexstar SLT mount which I use to photograph the moon. I have an Olympus Pen EPM1 which I use at prime focus with a micro 4/3 t ring adapter. These adapters are very hard to get. I managed to get a couple from Astro Optics in Sydney. The 102 will fit the whole moon in the camera's field of view so I can use this at any time during the moon's phases. The same goes for the sun. The planets are a little more difficult with this small scope as at prime focus, the images are tiny. I have more luck using a camera projection eyepiece and using extension tubes to make the image bigger. Hope this helps.
