my first ever astropic

I took this pic using a toucam pro I got from Ebay Germany Real cheap £20 Sterling I got me an eypiece adaptor and had read up on this and other forums on what/how to use it so this is the result and I am very pleased with it
Oh by the way it was taken with my 102m vixen the one I had had trouble with the 2" focusser not being able to achieve focus I posted about it on here so after some careful machining I can reveal that its seems to be fight fit now if like me you agree this image is pretty good

good to hear, and see, your focus woes are over. These are great. I always have trouble with over and underexposure on the moon, but these are pretty close to spot on.

Onya Martin!

Very nice job for first pics - I know how hard it is to get a decent result first time out.

You've obviously done some homework before you setup. Great effort, keep 'em coming!
