Here is a pic taken through my telescope of the moon with a g2. 100 ISO, 1/30 of a second. When photographing the moon, you will get better results when the moon is not full. A full moon gives a very flat image..

This is kewl. Must be fun playing with the telescope. I like how you can see the actual impact sites inside the main craters.

Now that's what I call a "close-up". Nice shot indeed.

Is that from the new Nikkor AF-SII 20,000mm IF-ED VR Lens ??? :lol: :lol: :lol: and handheld ????

Birdy, got any of these lenses in stock ??

G'day Big V,
Wow, that's an awesome image... That'd be fun playing with a cam on a telescope...

This was taken with an 8 inch telescope with a focal length of 2m... hence the detail. This is an uncropped shot.

Great stuff V, that beats a lot of members attempts at Moon Shots :lol: :lol:

If you could point your scope in this direction though, I think there might be a photo opportunity in Big Pix'x back yard :shock:
