ETX 90 & 125 with DSLR

[tenorotti]

Hi Folks,

I tried my first attempt at shooting the night sky last night. I started with the moon. I have the neccesary adapter tube with the mounting ring for my camera. I mounted the camera on the 125 first, shot a few frames and then swapped the scope for the 90. I found that both scopes couldn't fit the moon into the frame with the 125 having an even larger moon. Question: is there some way to widen the angle of view so that I can fit the moons disk into a full frame. I should have added that my camera is a Nikon D40x which is a DX 1/2 35mm format camera.

thanks in advance!
