First Moon Photo with Celestron Firstscope

Today was cruise weekend in Saskatoon:
A bumble bee was taking nectar from one of the sunflowers:
Russian Mammoth Sunflower
And, on the day after Neil Armstrong died, we took our first picture of the moon with the Celestron Firstscope and a Canon Powershot 560.   Used the lowest power eyepiece with the moon filter, set the camera to high ISO and zoomed in to take this somewhat blurry shot:
Have to figure out a way to get more professioinal results!  Not much luck seeing much else well tonight -- need more practice with this telescope.  It's only maximum 200x magnification.
