Last night a was a Beutifully clear night , and My older Brother ( an Astro Physicist ) broke out his Telescope. and Jupiter was we bight in the sky.

Here is the Big giant with 3 of the Moons. ( we could actually see 5 of the moons but only 3 came out In Pics. ) note you can see one of the bands. we could actually make out the Spot too, with the eyepiece in place.

I took my Lens off, and he took out the eyepiece then I had to get the camera in focus moving back and forth, with out touching the telescope staying right angle . quite tricky. But I got one or 2 , and how may Chances do you get to Photo Jupiter .

And this here was the lens

Way cool, Splat!

My own telescope is a cheapy beginner model, but I love it. I don't break it out often enough though I think you have inspired me to take it outside tonight when I get home from work. There is a planet that has been out and very bright these last couple of months. I need to check it out before it's too late.

From what I understand, adapters are made to attach a DSLR to the telescope.

Why did you have to remove your lens?
