First Moon Shot

Hi all.

Been lurking for a bit, but decided to post the first shot from my Bintel N200 on HEQ5 Pro.

Literally picked up the camera, attached it to the scope using the T-adapter, set it on manual with mirror lock up and guessed the exposure settings. I think I got lucky.

20D @ 1/125 ISO100 -2EV

Taken on November 24.

Not completely sharp, but didn't get a chance to take many more as the batteries went flat after 3 shots!

I was pretty pleased with this, so it's currently my desktop wallpaper @ 2560x1600. This image is a 1600x1200 crop from the centre of frame and then resized to 1024x768.

Hope you enjoy it.

Ben.
