    similar to above two - taken last night - by very imperfect means - manually holding the body of a system camera (without lens) against the viewfinder barrel of a telescope - I must get a proper adapter

        Thanks Armandii. :) I'm pleased with the result considering I took it holding the camera. One day....... I say one day, I might just invest in a tripod! :doh:

          That's pretty good considering the difficult set-up you had Colinn! :)

            Excellent photos :blue thumb:

            The moon is bright enough at the moment to be able to do gardening by it.
