I'm a bit confused. How were you able to get this closeup shot of the moon with a 23mm lens and no crop?

Same question...

The answer to this question... afocal photography!

As mentioned in my image comment, it needs only some enthusiasm and the interest to try something different.

In this case, as I don’t have my X-T3 available at this moment (repair of the front command wheel) and I will not get the necessary flattener for my telescope (for the use with a full frame camera) before the end of May, I just mounted my little X100T to the eyepiece of my telescope... and there we go.

As soon as our actual windy weather (gusts up to 40 mph) gets better I also want to try this combo with a star tracker... let’s see what it can deliver.

Ha! Reminds me of days gone by when shooting birds through my spotting scope with a Nikon CoolPix, we called it digiscoping. Probably some are still doing it.

What kind of adapter did you use?
