My First Lunar Photo

[michigander]

I'm pretty pleased with this as it's my first attempt at astrophotography. I took this shot by simply holding my camera (Canon 570IS) to the eyepiece. I'm so pleased with myself that I'm now dreaming of getting a proper camera adaptor. Photoshop and all those processing programs are going to have to wait until.......

Details - 6" f8 Skywatcher reflector; 25mm Celestron eyepiece (48x). I also used 4x optical zoom on the camera as I found that worked better than using a higher power eyepiece and no zoom

Photo was taken on April 1st at 1924 hrs from my back garden in the SW London commuter belt.
