Default The golden handle

Hi all here is a poor attempt at best to capture the golden handle from 4/15/08. I could not find a happy focusing point. I used the etx 125 and my sony cybershot to take the photos. Clear skies to all. Paul.

Nice shots Paul. Hard to focus when you are shooting eyepiece projection, but your first shot is good, and the other has good detail of Plato, Mare Imbrium, and Sinius Iridium.

Clear skies.

Good work. I didn't even know there was a special name for this feature.

Kind regards
