haha.. I have made my own digital camera adapter to put on my scope to take some astro-photograph.. that time i ordered a digi-T from Samuel for my video camera.. but at the end, my video cam is too heavy for my scope's focuser.. so i have to trouble Samuel to help me return it back to the manufacturer.. Sorry Samuel..
ok.. back to my topic... hehe.. I got the idea of the adapter from the Sky and Telescope April 2004 issue.. the scopetronix advertisement... they do sell a digital camera adapter which supports cam without thread around the lens... is simply attach a screw at the bottom of the camera... although my DIY adapter looks really ugly but it works quite well with my Casio Exilim Z4...
ok.. now enough of rubbish.. after a few cloudy and rainy days, I finally can have an hour time to test my DIY adapter and camera... let me post some photos below...
*this is my first time taking the moon photo.. so they are quite bad looking.. please pardon me.. :oops:

Finally there is a moon for me to take some astrophotograph

Why not try taking a video? That's what i always do. Because of the atmosphere, the image may ripple. But there will be a few frames here and there where the image is excellent and extremely sharp. Those are the frames i use to stack.
And how about increasing the brightness of your present images? Try to squeeze more quality of it......
