For bright objects such as planetary and lunar imaging, use an inexpensive webcam with the scope, which can be had for under a few hundred bucks or as little as 50 bucks.

Then get a copy of software for post processing which you can run the video through. The software will capture only the best frame/images and puts them together, aligns, calibrates and stacks them together into one image.

And webcam images can be spectacular!

Below is a basic information on webcams.
