DMK, afocal, webcam, anything! I use a dob myself so I'd like to see the results that others have gotten with a similar setup. I used my SPC900NC webcam for both shots. Here is one of my recent close up shots: (I don't have it on this computer but here is a link to it in another forum). Ptolemaeus Dob Picture (I think I'm the 4th post) Here is my full moon mosaic taken with my dob this past August.
