My first picture of the moon

Eirik, I can see where you're going the with the sword of orion.
A pity about all that stray light, maybe put a black cloth over the camera before you make the image to block it out.

In terms of focus, maybe focus the camera on the moon and leave it as is, then point to the target without changing the setup, and the camera shoudl remain focused, I wouldn't rely on autofocusing if possible.

the light is from the blitz (flash?) not sure what its called in english.

Ive though of putting something over since there is alot of light that could be reflected on to the eyepiece. I even hold my beath or take some steps away from the camera and eyepiece just to not get fog on it hehe

But that shoot was the only of maybe 20 that focused. The camera have no other option then autofocus . But i will try saturn another day, that should be bright enough so the camera can focus

Dont what to invest so much money now on new camera or DSI/PLI. Tonight i also viewed the moon, but with the 12mm+3xbarlow, i got it crystal clear Should have had my camera on then.

Thanx for picture Eirikg looks a good idea and i`ve got an old lnb bracket so i might give it a try
cheers
Dave

I guess im stuck at photographing only the moon with the cam ive got, saturn couldn't be focused eighter

Img is with etx 70 + 4mm, brica digital camera with 4x zoom, picture is greyscaled, cropped, rezised and colorized with photoshop

That's a nice sharp image Erikg. Brings back memories of when I started taking photos though my 4.5" reflector and nikon coolpix 775 camera a couple of years ago.

Also recorded a movie clip with my cam, ive 4x'ed the clip, the telescope stands still.

Prosessed in win movie maker, greyscaled, increesed speed 4 times

edit: movie removed
