Astronomy typed memories from 2006
I well remember taking these observations, the telescope used was a tiny 40mm refractor.
Even though the telescope was really a toy, it still returned some lovely images of the lunar surface.

Sunspots AR2822 and AR2823.
A quick solar capture from this morning's observing session.
The Nikon D70 and the Tal1 refractor are a good combination.
