Here's my telescope. It's a 6" reflector that I built some 30 years ago. It is equipped with an equatorial mount, from Edmund Scientific.	I have a 35mm Canon F-1 that I use with a eyepiece adapter. With the adapter, I can use various eyepieces to give an effective focal length from 1200mm to 12,000mm.
Here is a shot of the moon (half moon). 1/125 second exposure at 1200mm with Kodak ASA400 color film.	Another shot of the moon (3/4 moon). 1/250 second exposure at 1200mm with Kodak ASA400 color film.	Full moon. 1/1000 second exposure at 1200mm with Kodak ASA400 color film.
Mars. 1 second exposure at 2400mm with Kodak ASA400 color film.	Jupiter 1 second exposure at 2400mm with Kodak ASA400 color film.	Saturn 1 second exposure at 2400mm with Kodak ASA400 color film.
