The 5D is better for full moon capture although webcam is also great when taking multiple images and creating a mosaic.
In both cases Prime Focus is the better option.

Hi Malcom,
I took this this with the 5D (Prime focus) with a 2x barlow. This is my first serious bit of kit, and I just about blew the budget on the 5D alone. I have waited to get a reasonable scope 2nd hand and I have a fairly cheap viewing mount at the moment. Aspiring to get motorised and guided in the future. In the meantime the moon is prime target, and some f2 wide shots from camera only. Viewing a fair bit as well but will get sucked into the black hole of astro work. Many inspiring pictures on here!
