More of the Moon

Before the long weekend started I decided to go try out some of the advice Ed gave me about taking shots of the moon. I think it worked pretty decently but there is still room for improvement. I just need to get a little more familiar with my camera I think. As for the long weekend, it was hazy during the day and overcast at night. No good viewing to speak of. I did get a chance to look at the daytime moon with my 4 year old son. With the haze it was not much to look at but it was a good way to get us outside. He was more interested than I thought he would be. Although he did have more fun playing with the eyepieces than he did looking at the moon.

The down time gave me the chance to try and convince my wife that my current telescope is entirely inadequate and that I should buy new one. Much to my shock she agreed. Now I can start the process of saving my pennies and kicking tires.
