Looks good. I've just started astrophotography. My method involves holding a digital camera up to the eyepiece (with a special mount). It's been pretty effective so far. But yeah, good job.
Ever consider stacking multiple images using software (such as RegiStax) to bring out more detail?
 
yea...i haven't got around to doing that ;)
 
lol, yeah, me neither.

Thread 'Venus and Jupiter Conjunction'

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
