Wonderful Moon this morning through telescope Nikon D80 and Hyperion

Photos below are taken this morning by astronomical telescope and Nikon D80, some with no eyepiece, others with Hyperion 10 mm.
I woke up at 3 am and I first mounted camera Sony CX130, then I shot with Nikon and the telescope, with and without Hyperyon of 10 mm.
The sky was clear and acceptable atmosphere quality.

Above, are focal photos of the Moon, without eyepiece 1/8-1/100 sec at ISO 320 and F1
Below, are afocal photos of the Moon, with Hyperion 10mm eyepiece 1/20 sec at ISO 250 and F1

The difference between a video capture made with a camera that shoots HD and a photograph taken with Nikon D80 DSLR is quite big.How I said in other articles, video camera I have, is much better than DSLR Why I came to this conclusion?
      With Nikon as photos made when shutter is open, so remains.On video, you can choose the frame for a snapshot, or you can process a large number of frames for processing in registax.
       In processing with registax, the photos taken with DSLR , must be made in such a way that craters must be all in the same position when you make pictures, because if you don't do so, in the alignment in registax , the square (the area chosen for alignment) is lost among other craters, running everywhere; alignment is impossible. Of course those who have a motorized telescope does not have such problems, the photos are made the same point, one after another.
      I do not know if you agree with mine.Anyway, starting last night I advanced in astrohotography problem with Nikon, but many gaps still remain,and questions.
     For those who have the passion astrophotography:
It is easier with a video camera or a DSLR?
With that camera you like the results?
Which kind of photos are more convenient for you to process in registax for example?
Registax photo processing with a DSLR is only possible if the pictures were done on a motorized telescope?
