Thanks for the Software tip.

I've got adapters to put the camera on the scope, havn't done it for a while, but the photos of the sun, moon and some stars were done this way on my blog.

Love it! What lens did you use for this?

I will one day get around to buying a mount for my 'scope. I think I read somewhere that the scope's focal length translates to the size of lens - 1000mm for mine. Is that right?

I must have a go at the 10-sec-lay-flat technique.

Thanks for sharing :)

Hi, thanks for your comments.

I used an 18-55mm lens that came with the Cannon Camera.

Sorry, I didn't answer the second part of the question. I believe, as the camera is connected to the telescope and the 18-55mm lens is removed, the focal length is 1000mm, as I've done with my Camera and Telescope.
