Hi Veejo,

try a deep redfilter on the moon. I found the celestron no.25 the most useful. it changes coulor as opposed to the neutral moon filter but red wavelengths are less affected by atmospheric distortion and the filter blocks more light - good for observing a bright moon under clear skies.

photography through an eyepiece? depends on your camera. If you got an slr youŽll need an adoptor that allows for an eyepiece to be placed inside. with a compact - just hold it at the eypiece (<-- should have a longer eye relief). you can even do great shots of the moon with a mobile phone camera.
