GPappy Loc: Finally decided to plop down, Clover, S.C.
 
I found a Meade ETX-70 telescope on Craigs list for a really good price. It isn't much good for planets but I'm interested in moon shots more anyway. I've wanted to try this for some time and finally gave in to the temptation. With my D90 attatched it gives me a 350mm lens at a constant f5. I added a 2x adapter also and cropped it considerably. This one was at 1/40 sec. and ISO 100. Straight from the camera no pp done.

GPappy: Great shot of the moon. I may have to try a few of this tonight. Its clouding over here now, but hopefully will clear off later on

Thanks for posting
