Crescent Moon

I finally picked up the adapters so I can hook my DSLR up to the prime focus on the Celestron. I've been playing around some, and trying to get the hang of things. Shots of M32 turned out pretty awful, but I hope to process and post something (and PA visibility without a solid mount doesn't help).

Last night I got some shots of the crescent moon, however, and they turned out pretty well. Here's one, shot  at 1/20 and ISO 200.
