Impressive clarity in that first one on this page!  :notworthy:

Well, not the Moon... but when I was outside with my telescope I pointed it at Saturn and got a nice view there. Randomly decided to point my Leica into the eyepiece, and look what I got!

Very chuffed with this, that's 100% and I didn't think it'd be possible to capture anything at all!

F/2, 1/12s, ISO 1250 (IIRC), 28mm lens (aided by a Meade ETX-90 (1250mm, f/13.8 ))

Some frikkin' awesome moon shots. I wish I had a decent camera set up. Headed out last night and noticed the moon was very low, very big and very yellow. Would have made an awesome shot. Made me howl anyway.  :grin:

EDIT: cmdrfire, did you just poke your camera at the eye piece of the telescope? Or did you use some kind of adaptor?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Just as long as you don't start taking pictures of Uranus we'll be just fine.  :booty:

@Stealthwolf, I just pointed the camera into the eyepiece, manually set to the settings described. Took a few shots, all of the others suffered from camera shake but I got that one at least  :jumpmove:
