I treated myself to a decent manfrotto setup last year, superb bit of kit and can thoroughly recommend them  :happy2:

I picked up a rather nice Manfrotto for when I was going to the Shuttle launch to complement my Velbon mini, it is very nice indeed  :happy2:
Probably use it tonight to see what Lunar shots I can get.


...makes me wished I'd bought my telescope adaptor already but I've been putting it off for years.

I have a decent telescope, at some point I'll get it connected to the canon as that would give some epic celestial shots in the summer I reckon

Good pics guys! :happy2:

I took this with a 10x compact I recently bought... Wish I had a bigger zoom at my disposable but I think it came out pretty good considering!
