First lunar attempts with DSLR

[Kirscovitch]

I have a few lunar pics from my old scope and mount using a glorified webcam. Tonight I got a few images with my new C6N and VX mount. Still learning Backyard EOS but I like the results so far. Getting ready for the eclipse next month.

Hi Matt,

Cracking efforts mate

A little constructive criticism if thats OK.

The first image is over exposed, just drop the exposure down a bit and you'll have a great image. Are you capturing in RAW mode (if your not you should do)?

I've had a bit of a play (levels) and a little sharpen.

The second image looks well exposed, but could do with some fine tuning on the focusing front.

Eclipse? must look that up.

Cheers

Was the first time using the planetary mode on BYEOS. Learned a few things since then so that should help lol. Yep there is an eclipse next month. FIrst of 2 for this year if I remember right.

Looks like the one in April should be pretty good from here.
