Heritage 130P & Sony Nex 3 - Moon

[Karl X]

Hooray,

Ive had my scope for nearly 3 weeks, and tonight I actually was home and the sky was clear enough to hook it all up.

So, here are my first shots. I used a projection fitting, with a 25mm & 10mm eyepiece. Extension Tubes of various sizes were also used and I tried various ISO settings.

(I really should have made a note of what i did, oops)

Anyway.. they were actually taken through the window as I couldn't be bothered to take it outside.  They have had a little adjustment in Lightroom 5. (I'm still teaching myself this, so the black has noise in some places)

Manual Focus, as i was told, does need a bit of fiddling. Sometimes shortening the scope helped. I also used a 10 second shutter.
