Ok, don't spank me too hard, but the more i look on here the more i am getting hooked.

The question is i have a sky watcher 130 and a Panasonic DMC FZ-7 camera, how do i connect them together to have ago at taking some piccies of the moon etc. I think i have found the correct bit i need on a auction site, but not 100% sure, so any thoughts would be helpfull.

The product description listed is as follows-

are you sure its a 52mm I just googled and it came up as 55mm be that as it may I use something similar sounding for my fuji it does work but causes some vignetting unless its zoomed out, mine is a manual zoom and I'm not sure a motorised Zoom would take the weight of the camera

rowan46, you are correct, don't know where i got 52mm from when it is 55mm.

Vignetting theres a new word i just had to investigate further.
