Joe, I shot it with an ETX-LS 6” ACF with a 40mm lens attached to a Nikon Coolpix 4500 digital camera with an attached bulb. The 40mm lens was attached to the camera lens with an adapter I purchased from ScopeTronix. I put the lens into the scope‘s diagonal, got as good a focus as I could, took the lens out, threaded it to the camera then put the lens/camera back into the diagonal. I waited for the vibrations to subside, then took the shots. If it was any more complicated than that I couldn’t have done it. This is what I plan to use to take the photos for the upcoming annular and transit. Let’s hope it’s clear skies. Dave On May 6, 2012, at 5:42 PM, Joe Bauman wrote:

OK, Steve, let’s try this, again. This from a guy who can, barely, operate a TV remote.
