All photos were taken with a Nikon Coolpix P300. The sunsets were hand-held; the Moon was digiscoped with a Nikon ED50 field scope (mounted on a tripod, of course).

  2. Your results with that scope are amazing. When we tried one back during the film era I don't think we ever got a clear photo of the moon. It was always just not quite in focus. Yours is great!
