moon and venus 02/10/2008 with 127Ed - manual focus

managed to quickly set up the scope with "manual" eyeball alignment to the south and quickly snap off a few shots with no guiding through the ed127. Low and high cloud were coming from the south and w and quickly reclaimed the sky. shots were taken with the standard 400D and manually focusing (didn't have time to set up the focus software and lappy. So i admit the focus is not there but the 127ED shows a heap of promise. the moonlite focuser is light years ahead of the crappy one supplied with scope originally.
