A wonderful night to watch the Moon

[Kiith]

So,

today I got the great opportunity to take some great shots of the Moon (and even one on Jupiter and two of the gallilean moons) with nothing but my good old 12 megapixel digital camera, using the telescopes of my school's observatory.
And of course I want to share the best pieces with you, so just sit back and enjoy the product of I guess more than one hour of trying to take a picture without my hands shaking like hell.

Well, all but one have been taken using a high-res refractor (a Zeiss-Jena APQ 130/1000). When I was trying to get a good picture through the Celestron 11 reflector next to it I noticed my hands were a little bit too shaky to get one. The only one that made it through "quality control" was the one where I zoomed really close at the crater on the day-night-border.

They are great! I did a few of those myself some time ago, not sure if I still have them
