Just beware of the dark slippery slope of the Black Hole of Astrophotography. THAT is the really dangerous one..
Ah yes. I'm learning very quickly about the ever need to go bigger and better! Just ordered a webcam adapter and am going to modify an xbox cam I have lying around for a bit of Astrophotography/planetary imaging.

I have also attached a photo I took of the moon the other night on the 4th. Afocal technique with iphone 6 and a 25mm lense. Short video and stacked using autostackert! A little post processing in photoshop but i really didn't know what i was doing.

edit. i coudl upload the image cause its a 200kb max and the image is 4mb. Once i figure out how to drop it to 200kb without losing all of the clarity i will do so.

Greg
