THE MOON

My first attempt at a moon shot.

A pity that it's no longer here for us to see :cry:

800mm (80-400mm lense with 2x teleconverter)
Kodak Gold 100
F8
1/50s
No editing of any kind.
 
How do you guys take such clear photos through a telescope? Surely you don't just stick the camera lens in the telescope eyepiece, like you do with your eye? Because I tried to take a few shots of the moon that way (through my 10x50 binoculars), and the best one I could get is this:

And honestly, I don't think it can get better than that, using this method. Can it?
kwjones' pics are extremely sharp and well focused, and to top it all up, they're sized down! For the love of God and all that is holy, what equipment were you using? :D
 
here's one through a 200mm zoom lens

Wrong? Never. By overexposing the shot, you managed to capture the "Earthshine" on the moon. Just a pity about the other stuff in the frame.
