adapter that fits directly into the eyepiece, I also use two tripods as the telescope gears have trouble with the weight.:rofl :rofl

Great setup! Is the mount motorized for tracking the stars when you shoot? I suppose the other tripod might pose a problem!
You need a support off the scope for the camera and a counterweight to balance it out.
Loved the shots!

Great stuff, pete. The detail and the shadowing make the place real and three dimensional.
