Home-made newtonian telescope. 150mm aperture, 1200mm focal length (f/8). Panasonic G1 camera (DSLR-like but without mirrors). Camera lens removed, camera body mounted on telescope focuser, so the sensor was in the focal plane of the telescope primary mirror. A.k.a. "prime focus" photography.
Basically, the scope became the "camera lens".
Some post processing in Lightroom, mostly just cranking up contrast and saturation. Some denoising.
No idea what the exposure was, I just gauged it on the camera LCD so that I wouldn't get the over-exposure warning on the Moon surface.
