toilet roll images
Hi there I have just joined as would like to share my experiences with you. This Image is the first picture I have taken of saturn. I used an old Tasco 11t 4.5" 900mm i got for $20 with a cheap canon camera I had lying around. You're probably curious on my title, made the mount to hold my camera out of an old toilet roll and some plastic packet I had plus some electrical tape. I have a picture of it here too. These photos were taken using a 2x barlow and a 20mm lense. I hope you like my toilet roll images.

I'm an advocate of Heath Robinson setups , great beginning . Making your own adapters etc and getting a good result is very satisfying.

Now we're talking.
A toilet roll moon - who'd have thought it could happen.
An a pretty good moon it is.
Keep them coming Tyrone.
