Another starshoot IV question

[pipsquip]

In the handbook it says the camera power is the same asa 5mm eyepiece and this is true I have to use a 5mm eyepiece to center the object I want to image. What can I do to lesson the power of the camera is there a attachment I can use or a mod .

You could use a focal reducer, this will increase the field of view of the camera but also reduce the size of the object you are imaging and so lose detail. If you are imaging the moon take a series of overlapping images to create a larger mosaic.

I have got a focal reducer x.5. But this doesn't much I want to image the whole moon and not just a small section of it .am I better of getting a new imager

[Cornelius Varley]

If you want to image the whole of the moon in one shot you will need a dslr sized sensor or very short focal length telescope.
