The Moon

After doing some posting this month on a "Blue Moon" and meteors, I decided to try my luck with more astrophotography. I already have a Meade ETX-80 telescope and a digital camera, so the next step was to combine the two. With a couple of adapters to attach the camera to the telescope and a few test shots, here's my first attempt at photographing the first quarter moon.
