Maybe some of the guys with telephoto's will be able to get some good shots. Gripped 7D & 50D | 200 2.8 L | | 50 1.4 | | Rokinon 35/1.4 | | 10-22 | 50 1.8 |

Probably not... I'll be attempting on my 8in SCT and a friends 10in Dob. I'll use the T1i and he's using a CCD.

What would go wrong? That they miss the moon?
