I'm sorry you can't see it......and no power either! Yikes.

I was hoping to get a glimpse of it and when I did, I knew I had to try! I'm pretty happy with it.

As an amateur astronomer I've tried my hand at photographing the moon. It never worked as well as this. Not at all. How can something so large, predictable, and stationary be so elusive?

This was more or less, luck.

You need a good SLR camera, preferably digital (for immediate feedback) and a good lens. Lessons are very helpful too!

Keep at it!
