It's monocular I've ordered myself to help with testing (arrived today). A 'Brunton Echo 10-30x 21', a little expensive at £40 UK pounds, but I could do with a monocular any way and it seems quite a nice one. I also ordered an alternative monocular model that is about a 1/3 of the price, called a 'Praktica 12x 32'. It has a fixed zoom at 12x but a larger aperture (I doesn't get here until end of November for me to try).

Any way... This was my very first random grab through the clouds of the Moon, with just the XO-1 camera and no time to adjust any of the Telescope activity settings:

And here's some more through my window and quite hazy cloud (I live in a city centre with lots of light pollution) and the monocular set to 10x magnification. This was all done holding the monocular by hand (!!) in front of the XO camera with lots of hand shake blur (I don't have a way to securely mount it to the XO yet) and no time to try adjusting the focus, or the Telescope activity settings.

Right after I added the above images to this email, the sky went clear for a few minutes and I managed to take ~10 _much_ better shots... The Telescope activity unfortunately locked up, and I had to force quit it :-( None of the extra shots had been stored to its Journal entry. Sigh... Such is life – always there is the fish that got away! :)

I could then launch the app and take a photo – the Moon is up and I have a monocular that arrived today I'm trying to rig up and test!! :-) I might get a test photo or two if the clouds don't get too much in the way (it's not great viewing tonight but OK for a first test)...
