zakkhogan Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I got up at 5am to get myself some shots of Mercury, Venus and Saturn, to find that i needed to collimate the scope, so once i was finally ready to shoot the sun was rapidly rising so i turned my scope to the moonthis is 2 frames, taken with my cpc800 and EOS 300d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargazer33 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Very moody shot. Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raga Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Very nice pic. The darker sections almost look as tho they have been "eaten away" or are themselves a huge crater on the moons surface, or do I need some kind of glasses as my eyes appear to move independently of each other now.
