ok so they may be a little fuzzy, not exactly the right colour and not orientated correctly... but they are there and that means that man and machine are almost in tune

shot with a 12" home built (not by me) scope with an EQ single axis drive mount and a canon 450d at prime focus.
tonight was the first night that wasnt freezing cold, mosquito infested or poor viewing conditions for some time
all are single shots of about 20 secs, except for the moon
comments or suggestions welcome
