Is eyepiece projection recommended for lunar imaging?


Recommended Posts

I recently bought an adapter to fit my Canon EOS750D to my LX-90 with the aim of taking some images of the moon.

I also bought an eyepiece projection adapter (the eyepiece goes inside it) but I have read in a few places that prime focus is much better than eyepiece projection.

Any advice for a total newbie?

Thanks

In no way an expert as I just take single snaps, but I see no reason why you can't do both as you will be using the same dslr adapters anyway. I do think it's all about focus and whichever you use at the time, as long as it will focus then it works 👍

I deliberately bought the hyperion zoom for eyepiece projection and I think it's great having managed a few keeper snaps, at the same time I have also managed a few keeper snaps with prime focus.

The only challenge with using the eyepiece projection adapter, is that you will be limited to the size of the eyepiece that will fit the adapter.
