Decided, as it was looking so nice tonight, to get some more shots of the moon. Still struggling with focus when using an eyepiece for magnification, but this one was taken prime focus ( straight through the scope).

A 100mm, f/10 (1000mm long ), refractor.

I did rather like this one myself. (But I deleted the other 20 )

One of the best moon shots I've ever seen

It's amazing how they charge so much for long lenses and scopes
are only about 20% of the price but produce pics that are often
better They are multi element special glass and coated.

There's someone on the Pentax Forums (could be a member here
as well) who posted some cracking bird shots in the 300mm and
longer thread taken with a scope..... 600mm if memory serves
Half Man... Half Pentax ... Half Cucumber

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff
