Lunar Observing Session was created by Matthew C
Last night it was a tad bit cloudy and the night had an eerie sense about it! oh and it was FREEZING! Got all the gear out and got to work! first i snapped a Moon Halo(my first ever :D )..also i think that might be mars..



Then a with 4.5" telescope and 25mm lens....





And last but not least the moon`s craters...



P.s. thanks for all the help with the 300D advice!!!

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .

Mathew,
Its a good start, you have the exposure right, its just a matter of focusing and getting the camera steady, are you holding it up to the lens or do you have a holder of some sort??
