Hello everyone!!! This is my very first attempt at astrophotography. I know the moon is probably the easiest object to photograph but I was really excited how this looked. I set the moon in the middle of the ep and engaged the drive and then setup my camera on a different tripod to look into the ep. When I had it centered I snapped the button. This is probably not the easiest way to do this, but at this time it was the ONLY way I could think of.
