Title: Couple more of Luke's images...
Post by: JohnP on Apr 10, 2007, 14:37:44
Thks to an adapter that Tony G. lent to Luke he has been able to attach his digital compact to 6-inch reflector & do some through the lens imaging. Hadn't got a clue what we were doing but got an image of the moon & Luke's first image of Saturn. These were both taken on a static tripod.

Cheers Luke & John..

Hi John/Luke,
Loved the Moon image, there is some lovely details there, and as for the adapter that is yours, as it was just sitting in a box doing nothing, but this means we need to see more images now.
Keep up the good work.
