  1. Looks good!
    what did you use to image with?
    are you using a focal reducer? I seem to not be able to get the entire moon with the celestron nextimage, even with the focal reducer tube they sell as an add on.

      I would also like to find a suitable focal reducer so that i can take pictures of the moon. I don’t really want to have to buy a telephoto lens for my camera….
