Since I woke up at 4.ooam and couldn't get back to sleep, I thought I'd try photographing the Moon using a DSLR and Barlow lens. Jupiter was close by, so I had a go at him, too!
The results were slightly disappointing: I think the Barlow may not be very good optically - it came with a cheap kit I bought years ago. Then again, it's quite difficult adjusting fine focus looking through a camera viewfinder. As always with Jupiter, the issue is exposure: to capture the Galilean Moons, you over-expose the planet...
