Brilliant - its great to see a green moon!

I'd love to be able to try some astrophotography with my digital camera, but I haven't had a clear night for weeks!

Slot Drag. {Once in a green Moon}. I think you might have coined a new phrase. I like your photos. I also find my photos look better on my computer then on the web. Whats up with that ? Any way I like them. Keep taking and sending. yours in the way Paul F. Campbell

Yes i would. It came with a moon filter, All the colored filters. Lens 32, 12, 9, 4, and a 2x barlow. Man i love the 32, Nice wide view. Then use with the barlow you still have the big hole but good magnifaction.
