Old moon pics

Dug out a couple of my old moon pics. Both taken through an 8inch reflecting telescope at prime focus, so 1000mm at f5.

Great!  I like taking Moon shots. I only have my camera though.. No telescope to fit the camera on.

A while back a few people from a camera group that I'm in met up to do some astro stuff because there was an early moonset and it would be good for the milky way.

One of the guys took his telescope; I helped him carry it. The tripod was like a huge bag of scaffolding, it weighed an absolute ton! I'm surprised anyone moves them out of their garden
