Thank you.. though the moon is certainly the easiest target to shoot. What I REALLY want are planetary shots, but it may be hopeless to get Jupiter at this point in the season. And I'm not sure my interest lies in this direction anyway. If you want to do photography, you (or at least I) spend so much time futzing with the photo equipment that you don't have a chance to sit & look at what's in the telescope. You can always admire your own photos after the fact, but if I want to look at pictures, there are far better ones out there than I'll ever take with my modest resources. (Besides, the state of the art seems to be "webcam" imaging. And the last thing I want is to drag a laptop computer out with me to the telescope.) There's something about Jupiter or Saturn coming at you out of the eyepiece.
