I'm very envious of some of the shots you guys have posted of the lunar eclipse. Here is what I managed to achieve with a Canon Powershot A650IS hand held against a 10" f/5 Dob with a 32mm eyepiece. Typically 1 second exposures, so proud of what I managed. These are the best photos. Plenty of discards.

I also tried shooting with Steadypix and DSLR but magnification was too high. I've got a camera barlow and ordered T-adapter and extension tube. Perhaps 2014...
