I usually avoid taking pictures of the Moon with my ST80 because the scope's short
focal length does not provide much magnification. I began experimenting with an
adapter to use
eyepiece projection, but could not bring anything into focus. I eventually discovered that a 2X
barlow lens works fine with the adapter. Here are images of the Moon taken on June 20, 2013:
