first photos.. Saturn. 1 with Nokia N95, 1 with Nikon D50

I'm pretty happy with myself today... After having bought my first scope on friday afternoon, Today i posted my first shots...

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=30448

I accidentally posted them in the observational astronomy forum....

Through the scope i was able to see 3 or 4 moons, however due to the fact that i was simply holding the cameras up to the eyepiece, the cameras were unable to capture them.. I tried to get photos of the jewel box, eta carine, SMC and LMC but all were too dim for this method of photography...

All in all I had a good night viewing... After all the rain in my area today the seeing was pretty clear (once the clouds buggered off...)

Cheers.
Alex.
