First afocal moon

[hairymunky]

Well, not had much chance to use my new canon 350 since I got it, but tonight, the

sky was clear, and gave it a go...

Used my 8" Lightbridge, with a 40mm EP, and held the camera up to the focuser,

with a 35mm lens, strangely autofocus doesn't work, so manual focus, and

here's the result...

Quite chuffed for my first attempt

Very nice, I remember the excitment when I took my first astro image! Well done

Good 1st shot Graham 8) Nice and steady handheld pic.

Cheers

Yes great shot for 1st attempt....My 1st ones were a little jittery taking pics of the moon afocal, although my excuse is that the wobbly effects were caused by moon quakes......

Nice one for hand held!

[hairymunky]

Cheers guys. Was tricky trying to keep the camera looking "straight" down the focusser

[Sam]

Well done - you've got very steady hands!

[adt175]

It's a beauty!

I see you have joined the band of Hand Held Imagers Graham, and you have got off to a flyer.

That is a great effort.

Think I've been bitten by the imaging bug, unfortunately for me, I'll need to

wait a while before I can acquire some kit, mainly a mount, as my (good) wife

wants a holiday, and a new kitchen (nothing wrong with the one thats there...)

so I'll be practicing my afocal imaging, and fixed tripod imaging for a wee while.

as you have a 350D get an adapter from Steve at FLO and you can start widefield imaging quite cheaply
