I had a bit of a go tonight with my little canon powershot 560 Mike. Don't know if I can stick it up the tailpipe of the C11 but I managed to take a series of shots through a 20mm EP on a little Celestron 90mm mak I have here. The moon almost filled the EP so I got a good look, the camera seemed to focus alright too, which surprized me. The first shot below was taken through the camera at 4*zoom and no scope. Cute I thought, though no detail and I had to hold a bic lighter in front of the lens to get the shutter speed up. That was a mission, took 20 goes until I lucked a 1/250 speed and got a lifelike pic. The Big photo was 1/500 I think? Cut down in size by 3/4 to get on IIS
Frank.
