Not yet, got very similar scope (130PM) and I'm trying to head in the same direction as you but it's slow progress here !!! Got some pics but they are at the decidedly underwhelming stage.

the ones i take of the moon have been brill but not half as good as the real view i get so i want to eventually get a webcam or something x

I had a spectacular view of the moon in my 25mm eyepiece last night. Totally filling the eyepiece and beautifully lit. What I'm struggling with is capturing that amazing view. DSLR next to eyepiece was nowhere near, DSLR with a t-ring was not much better, webcam was fairly poor also. Never mind, stick with it eh?!!! I could do with a way to attach the webcam to the eyepiece. Off to see if such a thing exists.
