Thanks Niko
Yes - I do have access to a 70mm refractor - and have a few decent shots of the moon by holding to the eyepiece - I have to set on "beach" due to the brightness of the image but comes out reasonably well - I'll post a few shots as an example shortly.
Thanks for the kind words re Orion too - can't wait for some more clear nights to try a few other settings on the camera. This particular image was taken with the camera on the floor wedged against a brick to provide the correct angle up. I have since found an old tripod which fits the camera so next time will be a bit easier.
I was thrilled just to get a recognisable image with this one though.
cheers
JD
