Most of these images were made with a Philips ToUcam 740 attached either to a Meade ETX125 or to a 10-inch Meade LX200 telescope. Pictures showing the whole of the Sun or Moon were taken using a 270 mm SLR lens. I have a 2X teleadaptor that I use a lot, and also a 3X Meade barlow lens, and a 5X Powermate. Images of DSOs were made using a Vesta 675K modified for long exposure (I am indebted to Jan Timmermans et al. for this camera), or with a ToUcam 840 that I modified myself (for details see here).
