Some moon shots from a beginner
      #2067777 - 12/22/07 11:35 AM



Just got a rini 2" 35mm eyepiece with cross hairs and it had t-threads on it so I got the adapter for it, and started to play. Not my first shots of the moon, but a little better. more coming, once I re-size.

Nice closeup moonshots. It looks like you're getting pretty sharp details.

Cool images of the Moon. Looks like what the Apollo crew saw on their approach to the Moon.
