Very nice! Small telescope? You can get hobby-grade 8-10" dobsonian or newtonian telescopes for relatively cheap -- probably cheaper than your camera haha. For the moon, you can start getting cool things like mountain ranges, and long shadows in craters and such. It really starts to look like a world, and not a ball. :)
Thanks! I am saving for a 9-10" newtonian with a EQ6 mount
C90 was my first scope and it's a fantastic introduction to astro-imaging. Nice, pic, looking forward to seeing your journey through the universe in photos!
I think it is an ideal traveling companion... small, light but good enough to enjoy the night sky
