Moon Shot With Questar Telescope
Traveled to my folks house for a long fathers day weekend, what a great weekend. I had some time ago purchased the adapter to mount my camera to his telescope. We had never really had a good opportunity to use it until the first night there. Just me and dad out on the patio looking into the heavens and taking pictures. The shot of the moon was taken with my 350D coupled to my fathers Questar 3.5 telescope On Sunday (fathers day) I received a brand new Canon 40D from my lovely wife 
. After opening my present my father says, "what will you be doing with that one" pointing to my 350D. I left it for him to play with and get up to speed in the digital world.
Hope you enjoy my moon shot.

Fascinating, just look at the crater on the left edge you feel you could put your finger in it.

Welcome back BP - wondered where you go to!
Nice one Mrs BP for getting you the 40D, and good on you for letting your dad lend the 350D
Lovely shot of the moon too
