My first astrophotography experience

I tried getting some photos today and last night. I was surprised at how hard astrophotography would be especially without proper equipment. (I was using a webcam held over the eyepiece by hand!) However, I believe that everything must start with something small. And this is indeed a triumph for me.

Here's one photograph of the moon



Since the webcam available is of fair quality and does not boast much features, taking pictures of the planets was impossible, especially when using the 9mm eyepiece coupled with a 2x barlow. I tried getting images of Saturn and Mars but to no avail. I still have AVI shots of the moon which I will be posting as soon as I get them processed.
