First attempt - the moon

My first ever Astro phot with my 10" Skywatcher Flex Dob.

I was checking out how the T-Thread attaches directly to the SW (ie built in T-Adapter) and thought I'd give it a go... been going to for ages.

Pretty happy for a first effort.

Sorry, didn't change any settings so I don't know what film speed or shutter speed I used.
Just straight out of the camera (Pentax).

The moon is where it all started for most of us Allan so I guess you've caught the bug! My first moon was nowhere as good as your first, so you're off to a flying start. Nice detail and exposure, keep them coming.

Well done mate.

Thankyou for your support.
I checked the settings:
Shutter 1/250
Film ASA 200
Camera Pentax K1000
single image.
This is the same shot, just cropped.

Even more impressive if you have shot this 'old school' on film. Where did you buy the film and get it processed, or do you have a dark room? I have an old KX and various lenses, but it is packed away these days.
