Another clear evening last night but with the moon a little high. Took this
with the Canon 350D and 80mm Skywatcher refractor mounted on a celestron
goto mount. Great thing about this arrangement is the whole lot can be
carried outside in one go. Camera bag over shoulder, scope under-arm and
battery in hand. Its up, running and taking snaps within 5 minutes.

Its about 350k to download though (1 to 2 mins on dial up?).

Nice pic - I've had similar results with my 20D and Celestron C6-N
reflector (and Barlow):

Another poster has commented on focussing - I find this very hard wioth
just a simple rack and pinnion focus track (and no 'fine focus' like I'm
used to on microscopes.

Keep it up, I'm sure we'll both improve!
