@riquelegau Hi there! Neither in fact - the 500mm focal length of the Galileoscope combined with the small size of the imaging chip in the Philips Toucam - approximately 6mm across the diagonal - gives about 85x magnification - enough that the whole Moon won't fit in the image!
Did you used zoom of the camera or the barlow lens?
