Well, it ain't really MY pic; my co-workers took it, lol.

Pretty cool there DT. Best I ever did for backyard stuff is when I shot the lunar eclipse. Lot bigger and brighter target, so I didn't have to open the lens very long.

I've seen where people have got a backyard shot of Saturn with like a 30x lense, you could actually see the rings.

I think that shot was a 3x LOL
