I watched it in my telescope, got some neat pics through it, too.
It really is amazing to realize what you're watching, especially through the telescope.

I used to have a Celestron 8 a number of years back, and it produced some great moon pix with the 35mm camera attachment. Donated it to a sky watching organization up this way as I was not using as much. It was time for others to make some good use of it. Post up some pix when you get the chance Scott...

Nice photo's Dave. Here's some ratty shots taken with my Canon PowerShot A2400, with the zoom cranked out to 20x:r

Gave it my best shot this morning. Its nothing that a good telescope and digital camera wouldn't take care of:D

This pic is through the eyepiece of my scope. I took it with my iphone.
No attachment or anything, and it's really hard.

I'm a bit behind on this..
I saw this when I was getting off work. It looked like a cookie being very slowly eaten. Then I went to bed and missed the best part. :(
