There is some good clarity in this shot. To help with the over exposure problem, reduce your ISO to 100 and exposure time to not less than 1/500 sec. Experiment with this setting as it is different, depending on the brightness of the moon. If you have Photoshop CS2, you can do some great editing refinement.

Is your scope a Meade by any chance. Which model is it....LXD55?

Yes, bummer huh? wish it was a Astro Physics

the way to get around the zoom, is put the camera in macro mode and /or full manual with auto focus off. the auto focus tends to mess the whole deal up

thanks, im playing around with my minolta s414, at fist at thought this camera sucked, but after reading and understanding how the camera works in manual override mode, it all started to go together. i had to destroy a few 2" eyepieces to make a camera mount tha actualy works.

also - this image was RGB enhanced, 50%+ each channel with a overall gamma increase of 30%, unsharp masking and a few others, wll damn its almost hand painted after all the software enhancements. , but you have to use all the tools you can when your telescope budget all ready exceeds the national debt.
