Besides a flightsimmer, I'm also an amateur astronomer.

Yesterday I tried to make pictures of the moon with my girlfriends new digital camera through my telescope.

This is the result :

Top shot KB, I've been trying to get a shot of the moon but without the scope to catch the light they are nowhere near that good.

Nice. I've tried shooting thru my 'scope, but it's not working too well without a proper adaptor...

Wow! :o. I've been trying to photograph the moon through one side of my binoculars, but I can't hold still enough to get that kind of detail. I was thinking about building some kind of bracket to hold everything together and mount it on a tripod. Anyway, well done. :)
