I had the scope out looking at Venus about 1 hr before sunset this afternoon, and captured this hand-held afocal image with a little Cybershot compact camera. Nothing great, but the crescent is visible!
The seeing was terrible so I was a bit surprised how well this came out.
Pretty good result Stephen, considering the equipment used. Just goes to show that there is a wide range of cameras out there that can produce interesting astro images.
