These pictures were taken with a Nikon D70 attached to my telescope, a 200mm f/5 reflector. (This is equivalent to a 1000mm lens, or 1500mm on a 35mm film camera.)
I took about three dozen pictures in total, expecting that many of them wouldn't come out. As the camera will only work in full manual mode when connected to the telescope, I had to find the correct exposure by trial and error. Also, the focusing is a bit hit-and-miss, and you can only really tell whether it is correct once you check on the computer. On this occasion I was lucky.
Several of the pictures formed a sequence as the Moon came out of the Earth's shadow - I made some of these into a mini movie, shown below. Click on play to run the sequence, or select one of the numbered frames individually.
