telescope + camera = fun

MrT bought a simple telescope a little while back. It is quite work intensive to get focused on anything other than the moon but I am surprised how good the views are when they can be got.

The highlight has been seeing Jupiter with its marbled details as well as three moons. It is however extremely hard to take a photo of.

We did however have enough patience to take this picture tonight with the help of my little camera and MrT's old tripod. (oddly enough the best results with the camera is with it set to Food mode on cold colour offset. Time delays are also essential).

You can just pick out the moons "belly button" in the top left.
