CCD Imaging with Quattro

So, I'm trying to squeeze some better performance out of my junky Sony DSC-W1. It's not a Canon 5000, but hey, I'm experimenting.

Check out this shot of the Pleiades (it's not bad for a 3 second exposure at F2.8 with a hand held shot against the 20mm eyepiece):

I'm hoping a t-adapter on the 18" will reveal wondrous images, but we'll see.

More to follow. Tomorrow, we're cracking on the primary mirror cell at Horizon Industries.
