first prime focus DSLR pic.. Moon surface..

Hey, Just thought I'd put this up being that its my first shot at prime focus with my nikon dslr... I am lucky enough to be able to achieve focus without any modification of my OTA by the use of either my 50mm extention tube or my 4x 2" barlow.

Its a bit blurry but overall im happy for my first shot... I found shutter reflex shook the scope quite a bit so i was forced to use 1/60 - 1/80th of a sec exposures at iso400. I'd really like to be able to do a 1/15th @ iso100...

Next thing on the shopping list. EQ6 pro... that should help..
