Well, Sweet had the idea, and I tried it out on the moon just 20 minutes ago...here is the result, through a Telescope with a focal length of 1250mm with a 32mm eyepiece, which gives a magnification of 39 power. Equipment: Celestron Nexstar5 and Agfa CL34 1.3 megapixel digital camera. I "unsharp masked" it in photoshop a bit...but I'm quite pleased with this first try. The planets and stars, not to mention deep sky objects, will be another matter altogether!

Thanks Rork! LOL, I just realised I was still stuck in last year...that should be 2002, of course!

I wonder what's the limit for a 35mm lens, telescope/magnifying wise. If I look at this I understand you could have still added a teleconverter, which would have done 2x for instance. The quality of those things isn't that good, but if you'd ask me good enough for moon shots for sure. Anyway, just can never stop looking at the moon (the real one, but this photo too ;)

Punksie, this is pretty damn good.... very nice work.... if it's ok by you, this is gonna be wallpaper for my pc for a coupla weeks..... (",)

Jordy, hey, I just took the photo...thankfully looking at the Moon is still free! Wallpaper away, I'm quite honoured! Rork, I have a 25mm eye-piece which would give 50 power, and I've also got a fairly good quality 2x "Barlow" teleconverter, so I'll try those as well! more fun for Cambo! ...thanks for the feedback people! :-)>

Oh, Punkie, thank you!! This is just incredible! We got a telescope for Christmas and my family has all been asking can I take pictures through it (probly hoping to distract me from them, LOL) - and I don't know if I'll come up with anything this good, but I can darn sure try! :-)
