Bucketman Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks for all your help so far but here goes. I would love to get a close up of a single crater on the moon. I will leave the DLSR in the cupboard for now and buy the web cam mentioned in another post. The web cam will be a SPC900NC or SPC880 so why do I need to get it flashed I will do, but why do I need it flashed???. Next question is what else do I need to put it on my scope.
