| | | 'snaps' of the stars
A bright gibbous Hunters Moon high in the east is not the best time to 'snap' some star  but I tried it last night at midnight with my regular digital pocket camera [Fuji E500 in Night-Mode = ~3s exposure + high ISO setting to 400ISO on a tripod] with fair results below that I've annotated - give it a try 
Note: under perfect dark skies away from city light the eye can see down to magnitude 6 stars [but only mag 3.5 from my London garden] and these pics show mag 4.5 stars in the Hyades star cluster which is pretty good in the circumstances
