    I set up my telescope to view the transit of Venus across the face of the sun. Attached is a photo I took with my PlayBook through the eyepiece of the telescope, hand held but not too bad considering. Telescope was a 8 inch Celestron. Skies in Milton Ontario cleared for perfect viewing. Photo taken at 8 PM.

    Nice!

    I didn't even think to use my playbook camera. I did basically the same thing with my 9900. My telescope is just a 60mm refractor. I took this one at 6:48pm Chicago time. I have a few more I was going to post when I found this thread.
