Astronomy pics with a DSLR

Today's Blatherpics were taken by Jeff; he used the Sigma 30/1.4 lens on our new camera on a tripod. He said the photos are blurry but they look pretty good to me, considering they were taken with a DSLR not attached to a telescope. Jeff did try our other lenses, but they weren't nearly as good at light-gathering.

I like the fact that you can glimpse the tops of trees in the lower right corner of the photo above.
