Its cloudy as hell still....

[Tim]

and im out taking pics of the moon.

Gonna concentrate tonight on set areas, dont know what they are called yet, will rely on Talitha for that :wave:

This will be my first attempt at DSLR eyepiece projection photography. Has anybody tried it? What results can be expected?

I'll post any non clouded ones under this thread later......

Watch this space!

Managed to grab about 300 pics all together, including some EP projection Saturn and moons as an experiment.

Haven't had time to process them, so thought I'd just throw a sample image in for a taster.

Anybody fancy seeing a few more?

PS, Carol, I caught myself looking for those ray thingys earlier! I dont know what came over me!

How are you attaching the DSLR to the eyepiece?

[Tim]

I have the celestron tele extender.

Its a shame they are only cheap EP's, as I feel there could be a whole lot more from these under good equipment.

I have some saturn frames I will post sonn, maybwe tomorrow, i keep falling aslepe at lptopm now, ogonna go bed

...will rely on Talitha for that

In this image we see Reinhold (top, off-center R), Copernicus (center), Eratosthenes (lower left), and Montes Carpatus (bottom, off-center R).

Not to worry TJ, it's just the pull of the Moon... you'll get used to it.

I think it is starting to have a tidal effect on my blood.....unless its the beer?
