Another Attempt at Astrophotography: The Moon Through a Telescope
Saw the moon appear under clear skies, and I decided to take another try at taking a picture of it -- this time trying to see whether I could use my camera along with my little Meade ETX 60 telescope.
After about an hour of fiddling with the telescope's focus along with my camera on a tripod and playing with many, many exposure settings, the following pic was arguably the best of the bunch I shot.

Early Morning Half Moon
Saw this when I stepped out the door this morning. Went back and got my camera and shot this.

Crescent Moon and Venus
Shot this on a cold, cold night just outside our front door. Had the camera on a tripod, used a long-ish exposure, and after a couple dozen shots, this was the one I was happiest with.
