What sort of camera did you use John ? Is it an SLR with removable lens ? If so then you will need a T ring adapter to suit your camera and a camera adapter to insert into the focuser of your 8". After that you will need dual axis motors for your EQ5 if you don't already have them. It makes a difference to track your subject, even the moon, which as you have probably noticed moves very quickly across your field of view.

I'm sure it will discuss these things in the links Mike gave you.

Have fun and as Mike says " it's all down hill from here " but very satisfying when it works.

Cheers !
