Hi,
The trouble is--even with the C11 or a 6 ins apo refractor,it cannot resolve anything smaller than 5 or 3 km across---and one thing,even before that,the resulting image is too dim for viewing,left alone photography.

Physics limit resolution from earth-based cameras. But then again, moon photography is about capturing the subtle shadows of the hills and craters in sharpest details which is what the site shows. To take picture of the apollo eagle landers, get a probe there with a high resolution camera! [smilie=cool.gif]
