Hi all,

I had my first attempt at photographing the moon through my 5" newtonian (SW135) a couple of nights ago. I used a 20mm ep, and hand-held a Pentax K100D SLR with an 18-35 mm lens set on 35mm. I wasn't sure if it would work, but was quite pleased with the results given that it was a fairly crude approach. The image is centered on Mare Nectaris, and shows the Altai Scarp and surrounding area.

Cheers,
Stephen
