As luck would have it, a week before I was at at yard sale and came across a Celestron C90 spotting scope and got it for a very little cash outlay. It had lots of attachments, and one was a t-mount adapter, so I quickly ordered a Nikon T mount and it came the day before we left for Death valley. I was able to grab this shot: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/s4/dv/Moon+Eclipse-9807.jpg.html Not the best focus and my tripod was challenged to hold still. Actually finally rigged up two tripods, one for the scope and one on the camera. Still hard to focus, but this one is not too bad. Have a look and tell me what you think.
