Thanks guys. Aperature helps. 8" f4.9 reflector helps. The moon is roughly a half degree(or 31 arc minutes) and just fits into m43 frame. I took about 30 images until I got one that was almost perfect in focus. Seeing has been horrible the last few weeks.

Djarum, a handy trick for focusing a telescope is to use a cap on the aperture. Put two or three big holes in that cap so when you look through it you see several images, one for each hole. Run the focus knob, and when all the images become one, you are in focus.
