[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 100004, member: 9252"] Hi All, I used to have a Celestron scope a few years back, and I always found it diffcult to capture the moon using a astro-webcam. The reason being, that the webcam actually had a 12mm magnification factor. After a little research, I found I found that not only can you get extenders (Barlow lenses) but also focal reducers - These are similar to the Barlow you have, but will reduce the focal length of the scope and eye pieces (Or in this case, your camera). Have a look at buying one of these as I believe it is the only way to get the whole of the moon with your current scope. [/QUOTE]
