hi. i like your photos. i had a go using my digital camera on Saturday by holding the camera to the eye piece. i took photos of the moon and Saturn. i was shocked to see how well the photos came out. but i had a lot of trouble holding the camera at the eye piece because i couldn't keep it still to well. is there a easier way?
i live 5k west of kilcoy.

The images I've posted here have been taken through my 10" Dob using my old Panasonic digital video camera and my Canon Powershot.
For the planets I used the Panasonic with a 12.5mm EP and a 2x barlow lens, then butt the cameras lens up to the EP, focus the telescope then start recording your .avi's.
I've also used the video function on the Canon Powershot to capture .avi's as well but with less success.
The moon was imaged through a 30mm ep using the Canon Powershot S3IS.
It's worth having a go.
