Here are a few of my older pictures

The first 3 are with the Ricoh RR30 digital camera. They were taken with the camera against the eyepiece of the 8" Newtonian.
The other moon shots are with a 35mm camera on the same scope (undriven).

A full size version of the above moon picture is available on my Ricoh RR30 page.
