Here?s a shot of last night?s super moon as seen from the Seattle area. 
Captured with an Olympus OMD E-M1 through a Leica APO Televid 82 using the 
Leica DSLR Photo Adapter. This is not digiscoping in the typical sense, 
where you take a photo through the scope?s eyepiece. The Leica SLR Photo 
Adapter replaces the eyepiece and provides a T-mount that you can use to 
adapt almost any lens mount. In this case, a T to m4/3 adapter. With the APO 
Televid 82, the adapter provides the equivalent of an 800mm lens. On a Micro 
4/3 camera, it yields a 1600mm equivalent field of view.

The image is actually a lot sharper than it appears on the LUG Gallery. I 
don?t know why it looks so soft there.

Here is a link to the DLSR Photo Adapter on the Leica site.
