iPhone Lunar shot

[Stu]

This is a single frame taken with an iPhone 6 Plus using the ProCam app. It was taken via one channel of my binoviewers at x200 in my Tak FC-100D. No processing at all, thought it looked ok without. Amazing views out there tonight.

Give that man a Stupod, very nice indeed. The moon's looking lovely out the window tonight but I'm enjoying an evening in with The Present Mrs Foster. I will admit to a slight longing though
 

 

[Stu]

Thanks John. I'm sure Mrs Foster will be appreciating your sacrifice

It does look amazingly good though..... am I helping?  

A couple more for you to make up for it.

Lovely shots Stu. You've all inspired me with your views over the last few nights so just been looking, and even in the fast achro. you have to take in the sheer beauty.

Here are a few processed crops. The varying surface contrasts, even on the fully illuminated surface, were lovely.

Schroter's Valley very distinct too

Just took some with the phone. First is at x19 so just hovers in the sky as a globe surrounded by space, and the next is a barlowed view at 56x

It can be done! Just needs a steady hand or two if handheld over the eyepiece.

Stu, some very good pics but even better to say hand held at the EP

iPhones are good, but not that good  Yes, scope involved, handheld at the eyepiece. The view was at x200 when taken.

Those processed ones are rather nice Stu - but they lack the fetching yellow and magenta hues of mine
