You're getting good at this Doug. The images need flipping over left to right.

Nice one Doug. Very grainy though. I'm sure that was just choosing the wrong setting on the camera. Make sure you don't use auto and choose a low ISO setting.

They were taken with my mini- Olympus camera mu ..... when I use it again I will use a lower ISO setting. Thanks for that, Mike.

Doug,

You have done me a big favor I wanted to see how colourfull those scopes were before buying a 120 or 150 for some general visual observing when I'm imaging, its not too bad and the phot's are really nice :-)
