I use my laptop to control the camera as you can then view the image on a nice large screen which helps with getting the focus right. You might also want to look into getting (or making) a bahtinov mask and using that to focus on a bright start first. This shot is also a stack of 30 images, processed in registax which greatly improves the data. Tim. Hi Clive, the only filter I used on my moon shots was a cheap skywatcher light pollution filter.
