Thanks, it was taken thru a scope but I only did a quick shoot, I didn't set it up properly so it was shakey. I shouldve taken more time on it.

"A little burry don't you think ?"

It's only blurry cause it was movin too much Hopefully the next one I take will be better.

if you thought that was blurry look at it before post processing: before pic

That's really cool... How do you set up a telescope and camera so you can take pics like that?

All you need is a scope on a tripod, a camera and an adapter to hook the 2 up together. prefrably a camera with a remote shutter release to prevent shaking the assembly. Although I only used the self timer on my digicam. it also helps to have a scope that can track celestial objects but I didn't have the tracking turned on for that pic.
