The lunar eclipse from yesterday.
Photo taken at 80% coverage of the moon by holding the
digicam directly on the ocular of my telescope.

A little unsharp, cause it's really hard to hold the cam
steady.

That's because of your long exposure time. The moon moves, so you need something along 1/30, otherwise you'll get blur from the moon moving...

I took some shots as well, but it'll take some time to develop.

I know, but I could'nt use my digicam-connector to fix
the cam behind my scope, because this was during an
observation of my astronomy club, so we had a lots of
guests who want to take a look.

The full moon a few nights back was shining through some spooky looking clouds. I took a lot of shots at various settings and wound up setting the moon on fire.

tight blown-out moon, bro.. i like how you skippy little newbies can't grasp the fact that the moon is a highly reflective object in direct sunlight.
