A picture of part of the Moon's surface was shot directly through the eye peice of Anthony B. Bradley's 10" equitorial reflector. The eye peice was a Series 4000 Super Plossl with a lunar filter. The camera was a Pentax K1000.
On the evening of 1999 January 26 Sam Bruce took this 4-image composite of the moon at f6.3. According to Sam, "The detail is very nice and the blending was excellent (flat fielding)."
On the evening of 1999 February 10 Sam Bruce took a picture of the Great Nebula in Orion, M42, from his backyard observatory.
