Colliding with the moon
Thought I'd share this idea with those looking for a cheap intro into astrophotography. Buy an inexpensive full HD Dash Cam - you can get them for under $40 on eBay, remove the lens (can be a bit tedious) and make an adapter to fit your eyepiece holder. You don't even need a computer to take the shot because you can use their built in LCD to frame and focus the image. Too easy!
These shots of the moon were taken about 4 months ago, processed in Registax and modified and saved in Photoshop.
