toilet roll images

[Derivious]

Hi there I have just joined as would like to share my experiences with you. This Image is the first picture I have taken of saturn. I used an old Tasco 11t 4.5" 900mm i got for $20 with a cheap canon camera I had lying around. You're probably curious on my title, made the mount to hold my camera out of an old toilet roll and some plastic packet I had plus some electrical tape. I have a picture of it here too. These photos were taken using a 2x barlow and a 20mm lense. I hope you like my toilet roll images.

I'm an advocate of Heath Robinson setups , great beginning . Making your own adapters etc and getting a good result is very satisfying.

Thanks for the comments guys, Oh yes indeed hooked. Slowly upgrading my tasco for next season. Looking forward to mars being out at an appropriate time and jupiter too.

Now we're talking.
A toilet roll moon - who'd have thought it could happen.
An a pretty good moon it is.
Keep them coming Tyrone.
