I remembered the other day that I had some photos of the solar eclipse from Ceduna back in 2002! This was way before I know anything about astrophotography, or how to use my telescope correctly for that matter! I had an 8" Newtonian, which I had got cheap, because it had been dropped, and had a big dint in the side of it, and an EQ3 mount. It was a really rushed exercise. I remember trying to connect the camera adaptor to the camera, then telescope minutes before the eclipse began, and I couldn't get it to focus or sit right. Just at the last minute it came together and I got, probably my first real astro photo.
It was an old Pentax film camera. I cant remember what model.
It's probably nothing great, but back then I can remember how awesome it was getting the film developed!
