Here are a few pics from last night. Crescent Moon and an airplane, and the Moon and Regulus.








Both were taken with the camera on a tripod. I wanted to get a shot of the Moon and Regulus through the scope, but they both wouldn't fit into the fov. Time to buy some wide field eyepieces.

Samsonite Tripod, Blacktop driveway, in front of the garage, from Earth. It was a clear night, and I was wearing jeans and a polo shirt.

The time on the pics is one hour off. I had the wrong time set on the camera. Skip ahead one hour for correct time
