Got a chance to shoot the moon through a telescope. Had to use my P&S, but oh well. 
It's not the greatest picture... but I'll take it.

It's REALLY hard to get the image lined up just right with a P&S through the eyepiece. Someone makes a bracket to hold your camera just right but I usually don't want to take the time to set it up, so I just hold it and point straight into the eyepiece. About 1 in 10 images will be worth a darn. One tip for doing this: zoom the lens out to max focal length, it'll make it easier to align into the eyepiece. Rick
