About	Among my many interests I am a keen backyard stargazer. Over recent years it has become easier and cheaper for novices like me to capture celestrial objects, especially with the capabilities offered by even modest digital techniques. This was taken through my first serious telescope, a 6inch F5 Newtonian using a Kodak DC280 2.1MP camera. The great thing about the camera was that its lens sat very neatly in the rubber eye cup of the eyepiece. The fainter celestrial objects ellude me to date due to light pollution and the telescope mount not being stable enough :(

Good detailed moonshot

Nigel Smith {K:591} 8/26/2004

I truly do sympathise with you Ryan wrt light pollution. I live just a few miles from a busy airport and two major cities. The Newtonian "was" a terrific scope until it suffered major damage during a move. Thanks very much for your kind words.

Thank you peter, it was an extrordinary night where the air was so still and clear, I think I must have taken hundreds of shots before this one worked.

Nigel, fantastic shot of the moon! Great detail and shadows, your Newtonian does quite the job. Thanks for your comment on my image. That was taken in Stratford, Ontario, Canada while I was on vacation. I however, live in Saddle Brook, NJ, USA, where the light pollution is absolutely terrible. Rarely do I get the opportunity to shoot pictures at a nice dark sky site, so I make the most of it when I do. Please check out my recent postings...

Ryan :)

Great photo Nidge. I was going to say it is "out of this world" but I won't do ;-)

Nigel Smith {K:591} 8/23/2004

Thanks /P-M, seeing your shots has given me more of an incentive, especially the Great Nebula in Orion, mine always comes out as blurry shaped blur :(

Great shot!!!
Great details on the surface and very good sharpness. I hope that you can polar-align your telescope and do some longexposures too. Keep up the good work....
Best regards
