A great start.

Nicely focused and framed. I really like the contrast too.

Congrats. :)

Thanks martinus.

It took a while to get the focus right. The stock focusers on the celestron refractors are terrible to work with.

You certainly picked the best target to start off with.

Unless you have a live-view on your camera's LCD or you're tethering the camera to a computer, focusing is usually an incremental process.

Sweet.
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.
