Last night was the first decent night in several days so I took advantage of it to take a couple of new photos of the moon:
Again, they were taken with my Xperia PLAY mobile phone (5MP camera) held to the eyepiece. I did try the modified Xbox webcam, but it kept whiting-out all the time, even when it was pointed at Jupiter. Most disappointed. I need to try and get some decent wxAstroCapture settings as even with all the sliders down to single digits it's too bright.
Also trying to botch a way to hold my mobile phone more steady at the eye piece. It involves a small Pringles tube, scissors, pliers and lots of prayers. Will keep you informed...
