Imaging of planets from home would be a little difficult from my place as there are a number of large trees that block the ecliptic out this time of year, I can only see Mars if I set up in the front yard and look over the neighbours roof. At least with the street light, I could read the newspaper while the laptop is taking shots! Jupiter and Saturn will be a little better later this year.. I can see Venus when it is at its highest for about half an hour after the sun sets, but that is looking over the roof of my house. So imaging of planets would be destined to be frustrating...
So my main interest at the moment is to get a large part of the Moon in a single shot rather than zooming in on a crater. I tried a few test shots on M42 and all I could get was the trapezium, which is pretty boring on its own! Eventually I hope to get a DSLR, but that is a few years away at the moment. Of course I would not need the 3.3 then.
