What is your scope equivalent too, in 35mm camera terms?
We have too much light pollution to even consider doing something like this, but I just remembered I did take some shots of the moon last night just for grins since it was out as I was watering the front yard.
Thanks for reminding me! I need to download the pics.........
edit: Well that was a miserable fail on my part.

The last series of shots posted are from two setups.
The "wide" milky way shots were just full frame DSLR with 50mm on a tripod for 10 seconds.
The close up shots are with a William Optics FLT-120 refractor (780mm focal length @f6.5)
Keep in mind they make light pollution filters to deal with city skies. In fact, every shot I've posted has this filter in place.
I also have a wider field scope that is 350mm focal length @ f4.9
