Hi all. I've been experimenting with the idea to provide a real time image of the Moon for those of us who cannot look through a telescope's eyepiece. The result was fitting an old security camera to a DSLR telephoto lens and use this to show a real time image of the Moon onto a TV screen. The principle is not new as I have seen EP cameras which fit in the focuser of your scope. This is similar but uses a camera lens. The camera lens used is a 50mm Nikon 70 - 300 and works well. I have a few daytime pics which shows the layout and the image of the light tower is roughly 500 metres away.
