Venus from Snake Valley

Didn't take my own scope, but couldn't resist taking a few handheld afocal shots with my Sony DSCP100 held up to the eyepiece of Ken's 12" dob (and his 6mm series 500, I think?) and Dave47Tuc's 10" dob (and his 12mm Nagler, I think).

Seeing was pretty ordinary, I captured these in burst mode and was able to stack a couple that were sharp.

1/500s exposure and 3x optical zoom was used.
