Self explanatory guys, I wouldn't mind a telescope and camera (started this thread based on the telescope thread).

I'd like to see what sort of images you've been able to capture (not just google images taken with £1000's worth of kit).

So, over to you guys. smile

I've got a nice one of the moon from when I was in Mexico.

I saw the moon today in daylight. Always like that, makes me think of Return of the Jedi.biggrin

Superb. Balloon?

Mine from the ground and one with a special filter. Shamless copy and paste from the other forum.
Off a scope but focus is out a tad.

bigger one here

DO NOT TRY THIS (correct kit needed or you are blinded) It is the moon.

Yep. Got quite a few moon shots this time, and this is my favourite.

Jupiter, taken around new year.
I know its not that impressive compared to some but I'm pleased considering the scope and webcam used came to £70 total :-)

Indeed, that's the kind of shot I'd like to be able to achieve. I bet you could get a pretty good one of Saturn, Mars and Venus too.
Thanks scubadude.

Given the £70, that really is a remarkable image.

What camera did you use?

Not even close to anything shown above, but some star trails taken in Italy.

I dunno about that, it impressed me! I would love to see more about your setup, hardware, software etc.

I was having a blonde moment trying to figure out what's going on in that pic, then I realised it's an eclipse! Nice.
Cheers. Partial a few years ago. Baader filter so it blocks most of the light.

Mighty peed off at the focus for this one, could have been ever so much better, you can make out the mountain ranges on the edge only just ranting
