Nice picture, I have a canon dslr I am itching to use, how did you attach your camera?

[cometcatcher (Kevin)]

Nice. Must have been brighter where you were as I needed 2 seconds to get anything!

Lovely; the slightly brighter right hand edge gives a great sense
of depth.

Firstly, you will need a Canon adaptor to suit your model of camera to be able to connect it to your viewing equipment. This is the one I use http://www.bintel.com.au/Astrophotog...oductview.aspx I connected my camera to a flatterner and scope.
Have attached a picture of the set up I used tonight kinda hard to see.... notice that I was at the local cemetery as it proved to be the best viewing place.... full moon... cemetery... kinda creepy aye... lol
Actually there was quite a gathering of viewers there tonight... that took the creepy out of everything...lol

Nicely done. Missed it due to cloud cover.

Did the flash work well on the moon, or did it tend to wash out the colour?
Did you change your white balance to flash?
