My cousin Mark and I had a little two-man star party last night. Here are only 4 of the shots we took with my camera and his 8" Celestron. We have a deal; he trades me the scope for the camera. But, then we'd still have the same problem only reversed, he'd have the killer camera and I'd have the killer scope! Ha Ha.

I'm going to the zoo today, so I don't have time yet to put everything on photobucket, but I will when we get back.

All of the pics were with a 32mm eyepeice, and yes, Joe, I zoomed the camera in.





There were three more pics on this post, but when I redid my Photobucket pictures, they got mixed up or taken off. I'm not worried about it, if you want to see the other pics, just go to Photobucket and search for katodog.

Kdog,

Those are nice shots and good central peaks in the craters. I also like the mountain shadows displayed on the low lands.

I find lunar shots before and after the full Moon the best and most interesting. There's a yahoo group monitoring lunar impacts, mostly looking for comet debis impacts. Some claim to observe flashes, but I haven't seen any new impact craters as a result.

Nice combo of scope and camera...

To all interested, more of the pics from Saturday night have been added to my Photobucket account. Feel free to check them out.

Duh, I put the wrong date on the original post. The pics were from June 3, not June 4.
