I do know I can use that combination if I can get the 210mm distance between focuser body and camera body, I think I was a little off today trying to keep the weight minimal off the back of the focuser which has a little slop.
I was stuffed if I could find the moon on my camera live view screen or tiny viewfinder with sunlight coming in from behind me. Since it wasn't a tracking mount, just a 25Kg capacity studio gear head on a large Manfrotto tripod (not carbon) but I eventually gave up and the clouds rolled in.
Another day perhaps but I can enjoy your image done with far superior equipment.

thanks for looking

sounds like you're throwing far too much at it without doing your homework first and testing. small steps before you leap off the cliff. sometimes its wise to look at the tools and realise that you cant use the socket as a hammer
