Jon Blum - FAAC Vice President visits HJRO and looks up through the C14

Jon visited HJRO back around 2010 and took a look up through the C14.  I took a 10 second exposure of him looking through the telescope using my Canon EOS t1i.

What I like about the photo is the stars are in focus outside the dome.  I planned it that way.  Also this was a photo I took while holding the camera by hand.  It's much better to take a long exposure photo using a tripod.  But this turned out pretty good.  How did I hold the camera that still?  I actually was leaning against the door of the observatory with the camera pressed to my face.  So the door and my sitting there kept the camera fairly still.
