A great image. I'm wondering if you or anyone else ever gets the illusion that the crater is bulging out.

The Hyperstar replaces the secondary. The camera is mounted on the corrector plate. The stalk is the cord from the camera. When properly focused and collimated you can't see it.

I'm sure that whatever you get Paul you'll do just fine. The Starshoot and the DSI II are good cameras to start with. I've seen images with cameras costing thousands of dollars that look like dog doo.
