We were in Death Valley when the moon was eclipsed a few days ago.  As luck 
would have it, a week before I was at at yard sale and came across a 
Celestron C90 spotting scope and got it for a very little cash outlay.  It 
had lots of attachments, and one was a t-mount adapter, so I quickly ordered 
a Nikon T mount and it came the day before we left for Death valley.  I was 
able to grab this shot:

Not the best focus and my tripod was challenged to hold still.  Actually 
finally rigged up two tripods, one for the scope and one on the camera.  
Still hard to focus, but this one is not too bad.

Have a look and tell me what you think.
