Ice's pics are the most I've seen. Overcast so no chance of even seeing a part of it. Ah well, there's always 2008!

Hey!! That's pretty good! Did you get your camera and telescope talking properly to one another?

It's the first time I have tried out the digital camera mount/clamp on my telescope. It works!

That's even better Ice...Now if you could get rid of that shadow of the earth that is blotting out part of the moon.

Ha ha. Nice One Dan. But if only I could have taken the pic earlier and had more of a shadow...

(I was in a pub drinking instead :)

Thank you kindly, but upside down? I don't think so. This shadow started bottom left and exited to the side right - which is what this photo is showing (shadow exiting to the right). Yes a telescope views things upside down, but my camera was attached to the 'scope upside down, so the photo came out the right way up.

Here, see for yourself - the camera is attached to the clamp by the tripod connection - which is at the bottom of the camera - so you can clearly see the camera is up-side-down.
