hey Striker, if you have an old SLR film camera lying around, then you could use that for prime focus moon shots. Otherwise, any digital camera coupled afocally (or just held up to the eyepiece, though it's hard to keep from shaking in winter!) could give you some great moon shots as some forum members here have done. But you would be limited to capturing bright objects unless you have a way of tracking things with your dob. Also a cheap and nasty webcam would be good too.
Mike, I just had to point it out being a mother hen and all. But you're right, there really is no difference eh! As long as we all know that it's something far away, that is not a part of our solar system, then I'll be satisfied
