The focus is a bit off and the images appear a bit 'squished'. I am hoping that is the resolution of my monitor.
The afocal method where I hold up the camera with lenses to the telescopes eyepeice will work much better for more detailed shots. So next I will be looking for an adapter that will help me with that.
Nice! Already way better than my best camera zoom. No removeable lens on my camera and for stills, the best I get is the 20x optical zoom, so to get closer I have to record video (up to 2000x ) and grab stills from individual frames. I have a different camera now than the one I tried putting on the scope, but rather than try carving something to fit it to the scope, if my roomy gets it out this Summer I'm going to try that afocal method of yours .

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
