Thanks Doug. The Powermate was tricky - I really need another extension tube to get the right focal length for the DSLR. As it was, I had to extend the Powermate out from its base - rather precarious and threatenning to fall out of the scope onto the "concrete"! Vibration wasn't a problem but an motorized focuser would be good. Would like to get the flattener reducer in the train which would allow me to get the whole moon in and also give me sharp edges. Not sure this is possible but will investigate.
Good aspect of shooting the moon is you can be done in about 30 minutes which makes a change from being up all night shooting 10 min subs.
