My astrophotography is somewhat lacking! Heres my attempt holding my video camera up to the eyepiece of a clelestron 11 tonight.

I'm so jealous or the stunning pictures I see you guys taking of my favourite planet!

I better go have a can of harden up princess.....

That's how we all start! The exposure looks too long, can you shortern the shutter speed on your camera?

Hi WOOF WOOF,

yep that is a start and look out you will get hooked, tweeking images for improvements. Shorter exposure, then larger image scale, mounting the camera on the scope and the list goes on.

You will get plenty of help here.

All the Best.
