First CCD camera picture of Moon

Hello All

I finally managed to tackle the Moon last night using a borrowed 2 megapixel digital camera held up to the eyepiece. Point and clicked several times until one or two pictures came out sharp enough. The technology of being able to instantly see the results and try again is certainly a wonderful thing. Will do some more over the next week while all the best features are spread along the terminator.

Tried Saturn the same way but the result was far less pleasing compared to the webcam.
