Moon

One nights some friends of ours took my girlfriend and me to the observatory at Bussloo, near Deventer, NL. To take pictures of celestial bodies, astronomers (well, amateur astronomers anyway) usually attach a camera body to their telescopes by using an adaptor ring. Unfortunately the observatory didn’t have such a ring for the Four Thirds system handy, so I had to take this picture through a friendly guy’s telescope’s eyepiece, using my macro lens. A bit clumsy, for sure, but still not a photo one gets to take every day!
