The Moon

[Darth Takahashi]

Went out last night with the intention of doing some high resolution lunar imaging but in the end as usual the weather wouldn't co-operate with me.

Seeing was average along with the transparency

The image below is a combination of three frames taken as follows;

1. Telescope Mewlon M250 with Reducer

2. Camera 450D at prime focus

3. Exposure 1/350 @ ISO200

I also took some higher resolution images with my HX916 and will post them shortly.

That's a great shot Neil - very nicely done and looks great close up.

Nice shot Neil . I know what you mean about the seeing. The moon was high and bright but the image on the laptop was like watching something on the bottom of a swimming pool . One day we must get some good air . Trevor

Thanks for the great comments. Trevor, I know exactly what you mean... Its funny how everything looks great in the eyepiece but as soon as you put the camera in... all hell breaks loose!

I keep dreaming of imaging at F22 or F40 like some of the guy's on this forum but its still a dream.
