Keyhole, Tarantula, Orion and Saturn.

I have no idea how to use this thing, (400D) but today I got my t-ring in the mail and had a go at a couple of favourite targets. I am so impressed with what this camera can do!

I can't wait to learn how to focus, track properly and get exposures right.

Focus first I think....

Baz, yep, focusing can be hard work, a good option to help you is to get hold of a Canon Angle Finder for your camera, they are magic and really help.

Cheers Leon

Congratulations Barry, they are fantastic considering you are just starting out on your photographic odyssey. If this is your first attempt and you still don't even know how to perform certain functions, I just can't imagine how good you are going to get in time with more experience. I wish you well with it, I know you will definitely not lack in the passion department

Hi Baz, you've captured some very nice images.
Be warned it gets addictive
