Craters on the moon viewed through a telescope

This was my first experiment putting a video camera to the eyepiece of a telescope. In this case the telescope was a 20cm newtonian reflector at high power. It's a simple way to get nice surface detail but the only drawback is the wobble which results unless you can figure out some way of mounting your camcorder to your telescope eyepiece with some sort of bracket.
