Moon and M45

[Nadine2704]

As I don't have any decent photography equipment, and a Dobsonian, astrophotography isn't something that is all that easy for me!  I took a picture of the moon holding a compact camera to the EP (25mm) of my 8" dob, then did the same for Pleiades, and merged the two pics together to show their rough position in the sky at the time.  It won't be 100% in regards to scale or position, but I tried to get it as close as possible!

Very nice, good idea

Your moon image looks nice and sharp and correctly exposed - not with blown highlights as is so often the case. Well done.
