Title: Moon from Kelling Heath - hand held camera

Hi

I took an image of the moon at Kelling Heath on 17th April 2010. I held up my Kodak EasyShare M853 camera to my 4 and half refractor telescope which had 2 x barlow plus wide angle lenses attached.

I had to stand on my tiptoes and my head was wobbling so it took a few shots to catch it. It was a bit fuzzy so Carole very kindly applied unsharp mask to it which has improved it considerably. Still not as good as the actual image in the telescope though.

I am now going to try and put an image of the moon into the forum. I have successfully put it into the gallery so here goes. Fingers crossed!
