Poor First Attempt at Mooning!

Having watched my former colleague on tv last night telling me how easy it was to take photos of the night sky using a phone camera and a cheap telescope, I popped round to see my brother in law tonight to have a go at getting a pic of the moon.

As you can see, the results were pretty crappy - all to do with the low quality eyepiece on the telescope and nothing to do with my lack of talent, I'm sure you understand :-)

So two things come out of tonight. 1 - I shall revisit the moon at a later date to see if I can get a better pic with my telephoto lens and a tripod. 2 - unexpectedly got to see Jupiter and 3 (or was it 4) of its moons.
