Here is a 1st bunch of pics that I took with my numerical camera, when I was in the observatory in Provence (south of France). All pics from space in this post were taken with the camera behind one of the optical ouput of a 80-cm telescope.

In case you didn't recognize, this is the Moon during the 1st crescent.

Shooting Jupiter with flash (why not ?) ; you can see some of its strips on the surface.

Still Jupiter, but with no flash. The powerful God is so bright !! And you can see what seems to be three of its Galilean satellites.

Saturn with flash. Too bad that the conversion to a JPG took some light away ; the initial shot was better.

Saturn with no flash. You can still see its rings, in the middle of this very bright form. Maybe its biggest satellite, Titan, is on the left.

The night after that, in the 120-cm telescope. The upper part of the telescope.

Still the 120-cm one. You can see some of its mechanical parts.

Next post will be for pics taken with the 120-cm telescope, but through a CCD.
