And others...
Had to wait for my daughter tonight, so took my telescope & camera with me.
First astro shots I've taken with the K10

These are superb Ted. You feel you can reach out and touch the moon. Is that last one Jupiter?

Thanks and yes, it is Jupiter.
I couldn't stabilise the telescope enough to expose for the moons, but just managed to get the planet.

I'm amazed be the amount off detail you pack into them. Must take a bit of setting up?

Setting up isn't too bad, I can get the equipment "clipped" together fairly quickly.
What takes time is focusing as the DoF(f10) is tiny compared to the "depth" of the image.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys
