The moon at 20:41 on 29/05/2009. Hand held with my little Olympus FE-230 into a 14mm TV Radian on the AP152. A slight tweak in photoshop for contrast. Have to try the SPC900 out next

If you saw the construction it would put you off building one for life
Seriously I am sunburned all over the back of my neck and ears and arms I'm in agony 
I ache in parts you shouldn't ache, needed copious supplies of Magners
and a barbie to keep spirits up.
The roof is hinged to fold back and I was in a quandary to find something flexible to cover the hinges prior to putting roof felt on. Visited bike shop opposite ang got 3 inner tubes which are now slit and make 6foot x 5 inches rubber strips. Excellent!

Good image for hand held - get the SPC out and you'll be laughing. No really you will!
