Moon and Flare

My back is still bad, so I didn't get the gear out. I did setup the Skymax on the camera tripod and grab a shot of the moon with the 450d

And one flare, with the SatCatcher and the EF50mm, this lens is superb for this sort of thing as the wide aperture it can use lets in so much light, I don't need to ramp up the ISO..

I hope my back feels better soon, I want to try my hand at M101 and need the HEQ5 for that.
