How about we start a digiscoping thread?

This photo was taken of a recent of Super Moon @ 1/125 ISO 100 f/7.1. Used a digiscoping adapter on my camera through a 20mm eyepiece on my ATS-80 spotting scope. Everything was mounted on a Model 35 tripod by O'Connor Engineering with a 2575 D fluid head. Processed in LR for exposure, contrast, sharpening, etc. Digiscoping is definitely challenging. I shot about 50 images to get this one. The hardest part is movement: so I set the self timer to 2 seconds to eliminate any jarring by my hands. Also used a star tracker device to keep the satellite centered. This was my first foray into this kind of photography. It's interesting for sure. I have complete darkness on my ranch so I get front row seats to the heavens above. I just keep a warring eye of the Rhesus Macaques that have unfortunately found their way to a distant section of my property. So far they have kept to themselves. I don't want to harm them but I also am concerned about breeding. Last thing I want is a swarm of macaques when I hike and camp overnight.

This was taken recently of some sun spots. When I was a teenager, I was madly in love with astronomy. So, this is a carry over from those days, I suppose. Taken with the same rig but of course with a solar filter.

Many years ago I got a picture of the moon like yours, my brother was working for a company that had a Questar field telescope, it was small and compact and used a 3.5" mirror. I was able to McGiver an adapter for my camera and used it on the moon. Not a bad picture for it's day. Effective focal length was 1800mm.

Beautiful piece of machinery.
