Moon pictures through a telescope (take 2)

Earlier this year, I took a bunch of pictures of the moon through my fiance’s telescope. All I did was to hold the my digital camera up to the eyepiece and snap away. A little while ago I did it again. I learned a couple things from that experiences.
First off, the light coming through the telescope on a clear night is BRIGHT! I had to dial back the exposure some and I didn’t didn’t need to set the ISO high at all. A tripod was impractical as well, as the lens had to almost be pressed against the telescope’s eyepiece.
All that said, I think the pictures came out pretty well. The ones that are up have not been processed at all and I think they look pretty good.
