Sylvain Picot  -  France -  Canon EOS D30      2000mm telescope with 20cm diameter .  Reduced to 125mm and open at 6,5 .

	Erick Hanoteau  -  Belgium - CanonG1 Small telescope of 70mm diameter and  eyesight of 40mm + Barlow x 2 .

G1 and telescope for moon shots

Here's what Erick says about the equipment he uses :

The telescope is a Televue Pronto , hyper compact but half-apochromatic . Info about this lens can be found here: http://astronomy-mall.com/regular/products/tele-vue-optics/index.html

For groundspotting it's superior to the spotting scopes of Leica , Swarowsky or Kowa . Unfortunately , it's not made for 

trekking conditions as it's not waterproof and is heavy despite its compactness .

On the other hand , it can be adapted to all optics and accessories of the astronomical market . The diameter of 2" is exceptional for this size .

It opens at f6.8 for a focal length of 480mm and a lens diameter of 70mm .

It can be coupled to any SLR with a photo adapter , which cannot be used with the G1 . For this , he lets the eyepiece in place , 

puts his G1 on it , zooms out to the maximum ( to avoid vignetting ) with the advantage to multiply the focal lenghts together .

Enormous power but less sharpness than with an SLR .

He focuses to infinity and exposes at +/- 1/8 second  for the moon .
