It was with a Meade ETX-90 telescope and a Nikon Coolpix 995 camera. It's actually 5 shots stacked together, but the focus is so bad I don't think it helped any. The camera was connected with a Scopetronix 14mm eyepiece/digital camera adapter, so that gives a magnification of 89x plus whatever was added by the optical zoom of the camera.

The chromatic aberration is bugging me too. I think it's mostly from the eyepiece (based on visual observation of the moon) but it could be some from the camera too. Scopetronix has promised to check out the eyepiece for me if I send it back but I haven't gotten around to it.
