I have too many hobbies and can't always keep them compartmentalized... I like enjoy the awesome things other people do and sharing when I get to do awesome things lol. Thanks!

Nice, did you take these? If so what did you use?
Yup! I used an 8" Reflector telescope (1000mm focal length) on an equatorial mount that wasn't tracking (hand positioned). I strapped an unmodified Nikon D7200 body onto an eyepiece projection rig and used... hmmm... I'm pretty sure it was a 17mm and 25mm eyepiece.

I was playing with different image scales. Unfortunately the camera knows nothing about that so it's not saved in the image data like it would be if I used a camera lens.

So the Chain of... imagery? would be Moon -> Reflector scope -> 17mm/25mm eyepiece -> adapter adjustable gap ->D7200 image sensor. All focusing is done with the telescope of course, which is interesting.

It also gives you an appreciation for how much of a beating a planet can take without an atmostphere :p
