Hi Willie, Mine`s taken with my 5 MP digital camera- not quite a DSLR. It has a maximum 48x magnification though. Not exactly an Astro IIDC camera. I have a 50mm Nikkor lens from my old Nikon SLR, a camera ring & t-adaptor none of which I found will attach the lens to my TIS DBK 21AF04.AS! Last night we had a "smiley face" configuration for the 3 objects. I`m a bit slow these days to get my digital camera out for use though-not like when I first got it! Mark.

Dale, Milton & Mark,

Thanks for sharing those photos.  Very nice work to all of you.  I

tried to get a shot with my EOS on a regular tripod, but wasnt

successful.  I planned to put the EOS on my ED80 piggybacked on my

CPC1100 and see if I could get a shot, but I was late getting to the

observatory so just tried for a shot with the Canon and its 55mm lens.

Willie
