Firts shots LX90. ( Moon on 24th )

Hi all,

Recently back into some star gazing after a long break and a now after purchasing a second hand LX90 8" ( I was told this was a 25 year old scope ) and building a pier for it I managed to snap a couple of the moon on last Thursday evening.

Although I don't have a camera adapter for it yet I held my Pentax K20D with an ill fitting T mount to the scope for a prime focus shot and a eye piece projection just to see how the camera responded more than anything and was quite suprised with the outcome.

Hope you like them, it has inspired me to get the setup completed.

Nico.
