If anyones interested the equipment i used

Skywatcher 8" Dob
Nikon Coolpix 4500 digital Camera (4MP, 2002 model ) (I know i'll come to that later)
Scopetronix maxview 40 plus eyepiece (for the camera)

Now the reason i used this equipment is i borrowed from the lab at work.
They use this to take photos of microscopy samples.

I had no idea what they would turn out like, but i'm quite impressed !!!

I am inspired by your results. What camera/software did you use?

Cheers
