Let me share with you my experience with the telescope Celestron Powerseeker 80 EQ.
Yesterday I tried to take a photo of M45 Pleiades. It was pretty freezing outside, almost – 16 degrees C. So I had to be quick, the photo was taken with just single camera,...
Photo of the planets Venus and Mars just right after the sunset. Photo was taken without tripod, so it is not very sharp. But for “quick” amateur astronomy it is OK, I think.
Amateur astronomy observation of Moon.
Some photos of Moon in September 2011.
Astronomy observation of Lunar eclipse.
Photo of Mars through telescope in primary focus. Simple compact digital camera.
