128 Out Of This World.

You know sometimes you have places on your doorstep that you never get around to visiting, well this evening I took the opportunity to visit the Mills Observatory http://www.dundeecity.gov.uk/mills/main.htm Shot this through their Victorian 10" Cooke refractor.Just stuck my 50mm lens in front of the eyepiece. ( I feel some investment in some sort of proper coupling device coming on!)I can only say that the experience was out of this world.
