First Quarter Moon 15th August 2002
This image was taken holding the camera against my friend's telescope eyepiece. We will be looking to refine this technique in the future as it wasn't ideal. However the level of detail is impressive compared to just using the B300.

This image is one of the first images I have taken with my B300 teleconverter. I am really impressed with the quality of the image the lens produces, it was well worth the investment. As the extra reach and detail can be certainly seen on these shots comparing them to my previous attempts just using the cameras lens.

Full Moon without B300

This photo was taken without the B300 and really shows the difference the teleconverter makes.
