These images were taken on the 7th of April 2009 using my 150mm Newtonian telescope with a 2x Barlow lens, using a DMK21 camera:

Today I took the first lunar images using my 80mm ED refractor, this is a 100% crop from an image I shot with my Nikon D200:
Gassendi, Clavius & Schiller
After showing Venus, M45, M42, Saturn and the moon to my in-laws I stayed on the roof for a little longer and took some AVIs using our club’s new DMK camera. I used my 150mm f/5 Newtonian telescope with a 2x barlow and a 90° prism (this gives about 2,7x). Again I had big troubles focusing because of my wobbly Super-Polaris mount.
Crater Gassendi and Mare Humorum:
Clavius, Kopernikus with a 110mm Schiefspiegler
110mm Schiefspiegler and QHY5 (ALCCD5)
These pictures were taken with Guntram Lampert’s 110mm Schiefspiegler on his rooftop terrace.
As this telescope has a dobsonian mount without tracking I was only able to take about 50 pictures while the
lunar featur we wanted to photograph was passing through the field of view.

1st Quarter moon with QHY5 camera
All images on this page were taken with a QHY5 (ALCCD5) camera using my 150mm Newtonian telescope.
Aristarchus and Schiller with the QHY5 (ALCCD5)
All images on this page were taken with a QHY5 (ALCCD5) camera using my 150mm Newtonian telescope.
A 2x barlow lens and a right angle prism were used to increase the effective focal length. The resulting focal length was about 2000mm.
For each image, about 200pictures were processed using the Registax software.

The 12 day old moon
Aristarchus is the very bright crater near the center of above image. You can see the winding Schröter Valley next to it.
Around the valley is a slightly brown colored area, called the Aristarchus Plateau.
