Hi Matthew,

excellent pictures! I also got up early that day to not miss this opportunity ... I wished I had had more time and a nice scope like yours ;-)

Hi Hodero,
I use a Meade 8" LX10 telescope and a Minolta Dimage A1 handheld at the eyepiece. I am hoping to get an adaptor soon to mate the A1 to the eyepiece to save the trouble (and shaking!!) of using it handheld. Regards, Matthew.
