Thanks very much John... That is indeed the beastie... Celestron 80ED. I was using it straight through, I removed the star diagonal (that's shown in the image you have, to give the angle) and replaced it with a 50mm extention tube, then used the MaxDSLR connector I use on Deepsky and Lunar photography... in fact this was what I use for single frame shots of the moon. I can't find an image to show you, I'll try and get one at some point.
