Well, Sweet had the idea, and I tried it out on the moon just 20 minutes ago...here is the result, through a Telescope with a focal length of 1250mm with a 32mm eyepiece, which gives a magnification of 39 power. Equipment: Celestron Nexstar5 and Agfa CL34 1.3 megapixel digital camera. I "unsharp masked" it in photoshop a bit...but I'm quite pleased with this first try. The planets and stars, not to mention deep sky objects, will be another matter altogether!
