Moon taken on 26th October 2001. This image was taken at prime Focus at F/10. Exposure was 1/125 second.

Eyepiece projection of the Moons surface. I have not yet identified the two main craters seen. This image was stacked 40 times to enhance the detail.

Another prime focus shot of the Moon @ F/10. This time taken on 29th September 2001.

II have started to use Registax. Here is my first stacking effort of an earlier Lunar image (gotta start off easy). Here is the original candiate image

Here is a shot of the moon just after full on 30th December 2001. Exposure time 1/8 second at F/10 prime focus.

My best shot of Jupiter so far. This was taken using a Logitech Quickcam VC and the Vega software by Colin Bownes

My latest shots acquired using an Olympus Digital C3000Z camera. This is one of Jupiter again, stacked 50 times with an unsharp mask applied.

Here is a shot of Saturn with the C3000Z. It was stacked 51 times.

Here is Comet /2002 C1 Ikeya Zhang taken with the C3000Z. A single 16second exposure with a Dark Frame subtracted. No other processing.

The same Ikeya Zhang image stacked 10 times and an unsharp mark applied.

Here is a prime focus shot of the Sun during the Summer using a Thousand Oaks full Aperture solar filter. Various sun spots are visible.

Here is an exposure of our Sun in Winter time. Notice the difference in Sunspots. It was taken on 30th December 2001 using Kodak Ultra 800 exposure is 1/8 second.

At this point I must stress that looking at the sun directly with your naked eye or any form of optical instrument is VERY DANGEROUS. So unless you have the right equipment and know what you are doing - DON'T DO IT.
