I was trying to image Jupiter last night (problem 1: get Jupiter on the imaging chip). In the process I took a short sequence of the Moon through my guide scope:



Not great but I was surprised to get anything.

Sir Isaac Newton should have said, "If I have seen further than others it is by inventing my own telescope".

A great result.  Keeping Moon and planets on the chip while you take a photo can be a challenge.

PS: Just re-read it, didn;t realise this was through your guidescope, that's pretty good.
