Moon imaged with 76mm newt & phone - 160108 - (re-edit)

[SteelRat]

Had a good look at the moon earlier this evening with the little Astromaster76EQ and my ortho EP's.

Got a couple of handheld afocal single frame pics with the 3mp CMOS phone. 1st pic was at mag x56 (managed to get 'straightwall' in there again), 2nd pic was wobbly at x100;

Absolutely extraordinary Matt. I just don't know how you manage to do this.

You are a wizz kid with that mobile of yours. I can see these getting published, they're good enough considering how they were produced.

Brilliant mate, just keep on doing it.

Glad you got the calendar by the way, you have an image in there, and I think there might be a 2009 spot as well.

Superb images Matthew, they are both excellent.

I think I will get rid of the DSLR and try my phone instead, maybe it might help my moon shots

I really don't know how you do it mate. Someone buy this man an APO and a DSLR. Imagine what he would achieve. :shock:

Thanks Karlo.

Really pleased with the lil' Astromaster Newt, my phone seems to like it too. I'll pop a motor on the mount at some stage.
