[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 89791, member: 9252"] Hi All, I used to have a telescope a few years back, but sold it due to it not having the chances to use it (Got married! :-) ).... But, when I did have it, I had a filter set and one of those filters was for observing the moon specifically.... It was quite a dark grey / green colour and just gave enough contrast to see the details on the surface of the moon. It could be worth contacting a telescope supplier, and asking what specs the moon filters are and seeing if there is a suitable equivilent one for cameras. Unless you use a low power telescope, observing the moon is best done with a camera + tripod or Bino's, as telescopes are like lenses and tripods.... Cheap just wobbles and won't give clear images.
