764mm (30") f/4.8 Challenger observatory scope with Canon 300d.
You can see a supernova at pixel position 335, 327. This was the first supernova I'd imaged. Somewhere on this site there is an animation of the shot I took in April, 2005 and this shot in June, 2005 about three months apart, clearly showing the new "star".
