Hi Mo,

I have been using DSLR for a while and it is tricky but possible, I just finished processing a close-up moon capture only 30 minutes before typing this, took a long time and is not clear only due to very poor seeing. So far my best captures though are from the webcam but the full moon and barlowed moon 1/4 moon work well with a DSLR.

For most part full moon and 1/4 moon shot I do with DSLR, The webcam is primarily used for 1/4 to close up.

I use Live View capture from Astro Photograhy Tool (APT) to capture a few low FPS close ups and hope to capture more in better seeing.

Attached is the image, but not to give this one approval as it was captured with very poor seeing. I also believe my Barlow is not really suited for this kinda photography.
