Michael,
this is howing promise.
BUT, and there is always a "BUT", next move is to attach the camera to the scope.
I spent a long time with afocal imaging, of the moon and more especially the sun. I made a bracket to hold the camera, and allow a small selection of eyepieces in between.
I used to focus accurately by eye the scope/eyepiece, and then slip the camera on the "outside". I left exposure and camera focus, in fact everything to do with the camera, on auto. I got good results (well I thought so).
I did find that not all eyepieces were satisfactory for this type of imaging either, so maybe try a few others.
Gary
