Recently got back "into" photography along with astro and other types. Tonight I got out my 10" f/5.6 dobsonian scope and pointed my A540 PowerShot into a 21.5mm eyepiece.

Some of the best images of the moon and planets were with the same setup and similiar camera as yours , Cool-Pix was a great little camera for such a setup .
