Moon and Saturn

This is a shot of the moon near saturn last month. Taken with a Nikon F3 body on my telescope. Focal length 1200mm
1/4 to 1/2 second at f/8.
I'm not too sure of the exposure time as I didn't use a shutter - just waved a dark card in front of the telescope. Ilford FP4+ developed in PMK Pyro and printed on Oriental Seagull grade 3 paper. Print exposed for 180 seconds with saturn dodged out for all but 25 seconds.

Again-very well done. Beautiful image.
 
Thanks to all for your kind comments. It's unfortunate that my lame scanner was unable to capture all the detail present in the print.

180 seconds? Wow. I've never thought of mounting a camera body to a telescope. Again, I find it amazing. I love this forum for seeing everyone's different ideas and ways.
