As some of you may know i very recently got my first scope - an 8" dobsonian.
I have tried to get some photos through it but have been unsuccesful in getting anything in which anything can be recognised.
I have a "Nikon coolpix L1" i realise that it is not made for astrophotography, but was under the impression that i would be able to get photos with it anyway (this is not the reason i bought the scope, so i will not get greatly angry if it turns out impossible). Other than it basically destroying my night vision - it is very difficult to get it alligned using a second tripod.
I have tried changing the exposure - but cannot find something to change the shutter speed.
Here are a couple of photos ive taken.

They are much clearer than that when looking with eyes, but thats the best i have managed with the camera.
