Amazing
I've always wondered what we'd see if directing this kind of setup at the Moon.
How detailed would that be?
Would you be able to photograph Andromeda rising above the moon's horizon or any other galaxy?
Thanks for the photos
How much of a difference does it make if you are in the city, as opposed to the countryside? Those shots seem to have little or no light contamination. Is there some sort of common mode subtraction used?
Hello,
As for the differences in the city VS a dark sky, the light pollution would be so bad in the city that it would show in a 1 minute exposure and look red or pink. A dark sky is what you need to get long exposures and good contrast. I did not do any mode subtraction but just a boost in levels to make the sky blacker.

That would look like this: Moon shot with my telescope.

sure, here is an older image of my setup. It is still the same today, just a better camera. If you decide to buy one, PM me and I will help you select one.

Nice thanks for the photo.
Is it the same magnification as the one on the Andromeda galaxy? For some reason, while watching the first shots, I felt like the moon would be way bigger. I obviously don't know anything about telescopes and their magnification ... you must have guessed that ;-)

Actually, the Andromeda galaxy is about twice the size than the moon, but is waaaay fainter
