As it turns out, taking a picture of the moon is easy. Taking a good picture isn't (for a total novitiate). My first few images weren't entirely awful, but they sure weren't great either.

The LX200 and the Moon
After I took a couple of pictures of Albireo with the LX200 I decided to try take a picture of our closest celestrial body, the moon. It was big, it was bright, and it seemed like an easy target.

Acquiring the moon, framing it and setting the timer on the camera wasn't a problem. Focusing was the trick. This was the best I could do on my first run.
