Here are my first efforts with my Dob which is not regarded as a photographic Telescope, but i think its not a bad first effort LOL

Very nice Stu!
The second image is particulary good.

Well done. I wish I could get something that good to come out.

If anyones interested the equipment i used

Skywatcher 8" Dob
Nikon Coolpix 4500 digital Camera (4MP, 2002 model ) (I know i'll come to that later)
Scopetronix maxview 40 plus eyepiece (for the camera)

Now the reason i used this equipment is i borrowed from the lab at work.
They use this to take photos of microscopy samples.

I had no idea what they would turn out like, but i'm quite impressed !!!

Nice images Stu.
I am inspired by your results. What camera/software did you use?

Cheers

No software, just raw images taken straight from the Camera
