Here are some pictures I've taken through my telescope. They don't exactly put the Hubble Space Telescope to shame but it's fun taking them.
One of the pictures of Jupiter shows two of its moons, another shows one if its moons.
Except for the lunar eclipse and Venus transit photos, these pictures were all taken with a 1.3 megapixel digital point-and-shoot camera using the afocal method. The lunar eclipse picture was taken on November 8, 2003 with a 35mm SLR and ISO 800 color print film at prime focus (with barlow). The Venus transit photo was taken with a 3.0 megapixel digital point-and-shoot camera using the afocal method.
