    Looks good!

    Can you describe how you mounted your 60D on your ETX90?

    Nice. Good time of the month to do it, the craters look really well defined.
    Yeah, if you recognize the avatar, new user name.

    Sure, glad too.
    A Meade #64 T-Adapter using the short tube section only (it comes with 2 tube sections) mated to a Bower T-EOS T-Mount camera adapter. I bought mine at Oceanside Photo and Telescope in So Cal.

    This arrangement does reasonably well for daylight terrestrial shots too - 1200mm @ f13 fixed.

    Thanks y'all for the kind comments - much appreciated!

    Isn't it amazing that we went there only 66 years after Orville & Wilbur took powered flight...... I hope we go back soon.

    Wonderful shot, Eric. It's only right that the glory went to the guys with the guts to journey out there. I hope to see more of your celestial photography.
