That Cat Bike is an OCC custom made one and it is signed Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. ... The Lotus was only 2.5 foot tall just barely made it over my knees.

Knowing Lotus and their obsession with weight, it's probably a tiny engine with aluminum body.  :cool:

I tried getting a picture of Saturn and Mars through my telescope the other night, they didn't turn out though. I may have to drop the digital camera and go back to old fashioned film.

The moon shot was done with a Nikon D3200, using an Opteka 430-800 mm telephoto zoom. It was zoomed too 800, so the aperture was f16, iso was 1600 and shutter speed was 1/160th sec. It was tripod mounted, and I controlled the camera through my laptop using DigiCamControl. I have a buddy who is an expert amateur astronomer and does regular photography through his 10'" dobsonian scope. I'll ask him if I can give you his name so you can contact him through Facebook. I'm sure he won't mind. BTW is your scope on a tracking mount?

Most of my moon shots are hand held with a 70-200mm f2.8 on a d810

I'm going out at around 10 tonight to get some more shots, moon is waxing gibbous, a little more than 3/4 full.I'm going to drop the ISO to 800 to get some higher resolution pics.
I'm not good enough to get good shots with a 200mm yet, Silver, especially handheld. One day though, one day. Any constructive suggestions on my shots? I'd appreciate any tips you could give.

for moon shots just lower the iso to native (I'm guessing it's 200 on the d3200) use the widest aperture and keep your shutter speed fast.  You want to focus on the moon and underexpose the shot in order to get the detail in the moon.  It's easy, give it a try.

I'm on my phone but your other shots look great to me.

Nah, I've got a Meade like the one below. It has a computer that can track it's position and let you know what you are looking at, but beyond that it's not really special. I want a nice computer controlled reflector baaaaaaad though.
