The Moon

[Leeroy (Lee)]

G'day gents..
Ok so i'm sure that pics like this get posted all the time, but i was pretty proud of this one.. My first attempt at the moon with my new DSLR, a canon EOS 500D, 15.2 MP. It's a little beauty.. After a bit of mucking arround with the adaptors i got it connected to my 10" F4.9 reflector and after about 50 pics at different settings and magnification here's about the best of them.. 1/3200 exposure, @ 1600 ISO, about 40x magnification..
Pretty happy.
