My Moon shots into the mix

CraigFair Loc: Santa Maria, CA.
 
Nikon D600
Meade 8" 2000mm
#1 SS 1/60"
f/10
ISO 1000
I pushed the ISO to see what happens.
#2 SS 1/30"
I stuck a BAADER 17mm Lens in between the Telescope and the Camera.
In this very light cloud cover I just can't get crystal clear shots

Try using a 2X Barlow instead of the 17mm. I think you will like the results.
Good shots shooting through the cloud layer however.

Moments ago I just shot the M31 for the first time through my 1000mm Russian Reflex Mirror Lens

Thank you
I have a filter that will give a lot more definition to the big fuzz ball.

Which filter did you add?
Light pollution?
This has a bit more detail.

The only things I did was filter it in Lightroom.
The optic filters I have only fit the Meade 8"
which will happen tonight I hope

Thank you GT, I just got PS and LR 3 days ago so it was purely by accident.
I wish I could duplicate what I did.
