My first picture on here and Flickr
This is an example of my early digiscoping experimenting using my D80 and my ED82 Nikon Scope.
I tweaked the contrast in levels and sharpened a bit.

Cheers Holo | D80 and my ED82 Nikon Spotting Scope using an adapter - Nikon FSA-L1.
Not as good as a prime lens but cheaper than spending £6000+

This is absolutely fantastic!! Why spend £6000+ when you can get results like that! I would be very happy if I got results like this!

Really sharp and detailed shot there Steve
My father has got a Celestron 8 SCT telescope which is in pretty good condition considering it's over thirty years old. I've been meaning to get an adapter for my camera but have been putting it off until my backyard has been done. I'm pretty fortunate where I live that there isn't that much light pollution compared to your average town or village so I should be able to get a decent moon shot. If I can get one as detailed as yours, I'll be over the moon  | |

wow amazing detail, here was my attempt with the Sigma 70-300 APO http://amigaworld.net/tmp/myphotos/IMG_1168.jpg
Focusing was very difficult, I had to use manual focus, automatic sucked.

All my focusing in my digi set-up has to be done on the scope and I have very little control of the camera. I have to limit the exposure by using fast shutter speeds.
This may be down to my inexperience with the camera though.

My neighbours just smile when they see me yet again at night with a tripod sporting a skyward pointing camera 
Well done
