First ever try at photography...

Hi,

Only had my scope a few months and not used it much due to having a new baby. But got it out on Friday after seeing Jupiter in the sky and thought I'd try to capture it with just a cheap digital camera held up to the EP.

Not brilliant compared to you guys but I'm pleased!!

I then tried to edit it online. Fuzzy but still pleased.

Again, not as good as you lot but I'm dead chuffed!!

Thanks for the replies!!

Tried setting my old webcam up on my laptop but not Vista compatible, so it looks like a new one is in the pipeline!

Just tried editing the image further... this is the result so far... not too bad for afocal!
