Hi All,
It was clear last night and could not resist taking the 22" Dob out to observe Saturn and try imaging Moon for the first time. Saturn was brilliant, razor sharp at 550x magnification and there was some detail including grey patches in the storm. Even my wife was pleased to see it 4am in the morning.
After enjoying Saturn I put Sony NEX-5 into the focuser and snapped a few images of the Moon.
Attached below is a single shot image processed in Photoshop CS5. I know there is room for improvement but I am quite happy with how my first ever Moon image turned out. Quick imaging with the Dob is good fun!

Thanks for looking,
