I just purchased my first telescope, and now I can see images like this all the time. But, now I want to know how to take pictures of it through the little lens? How did you get this image?

I just used a canon t3i camera with a tripod with a 250 mm lens.

Okay, ... How large is your eyepiece on your telescope?
Mine is about 1/4" in diameter.
I guess I could try my Nikon - I just didn't thing it would work.
Thanks.

I don't use a telescope. Just my camera and a telephoto lens.

Yeah that was the camera lens. I'd love to get into telescopes someday.

Well, they're fun. Mostly if you get one that isn't computerized. I tire of all digital, all the time. Some times is fun to just view without an image to prove what you were doing from 10pm to 12pm.

Not bad! Astrophotography is really quite difficult...
