Hi,
I am a seven year old and this is my first photo of the moon. I used my ST-80, my dad's EQ-2 and a Neximage camera. I even processed it using Registax. Let me know what you think.

Excellent first moon image. It's a lot better than my first moon image.
When I was 7 years old, I wasn't taking pictures at all, and didn't even know what a computer (aka electronic brain) was.

When I was 7 years old, computers were the size of entire rooms  ... and even when I was a newbie in the 1960s, there was no such thing as the internet or personal computers!

Nice shot of the Moon. It must be the view the astronauts on Apollo 8 saw.
