Default First light: EOS 350D

Thought I'd try pointing the new toy skywards on its own given the
disappointment of finding that it isn't really practical to put it on the
ETX-105 :-(

OK, I know this is not much by the standards here, but I thought it was OK
given how easy this was to take. Pretty much a set of snapshots really.:

20 or so images 300mm F5.6 1/160 - 1/200 sec ISO-400 put together with
registaxx.

I was less successful trying to get a bit of earthshine later. Probably
should have waited for a better time, but the clouds were a-comin'!

14 images 300mm F5.6 1/15 - 1/25 sec ISO-1600.

Next accessory is a remote release so the shots of constellations don't have
as much shake!
