Some images taken on my first night out with a telescope...

[BhaskarK]

These are some photos I took using a 6" f/7 dobsonian I recently purchased and my trusty lumia 520.

Processed in Photoshop CS6.

The eyepieces are EWF Kellners only and so I am thinking about buying a 32mm and a 6mm plossl. Any tips ?

Taken on 16/06/2016

Terminator at 336x (or 252x, I am not sure here). Taken using the worst combination possible, a 12.5mm ramsden and a 4x(or 3x) barlow.

Full images

with a 17mm eyepiece.

Tycho and terminator (again unsure whether 336x or 252x ).

Nice first images.

Very good a-focal work BhaskarK, you've captured some nice lunar detail. The second shot I like the best showing the whole moon, well done.

The 32mm Plossl you'll get nicer images from than the 6mm doing a-focal AP. It will be difficult to get sharp images with acceptable contrast with the 6mm Plossl. I use a 40mm Plossl and use some optical zoom (about 2 x) with an older 10mp budget compact digital camera and get nice clear results to work with.
