Yet another "My First Pics"

Taken 20/06/05 at about 2150 from Cairns in Far North QLD using a handheld Pentax Optio in Macro Mode through a 20mm Plossl on a Celestron Nextar GT4

If I sound like a new father it's because I'm stunned at result of my first astrophotography attempt.

At about the 10:00 position on the image is the start of a shadow effect in the image. At its worst it seemed there was the shadow of the secondary in the image. Is this likely to be the cause? How do I prevent it?

A t-mount is already on my shopping list
