Kain Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Had another play with the moon tonight, minus moon filter and with the tips Steve gave me.So it was F8, ISO 50 and the exposure was -1 I think (whatever that means)I'm really pleased with these, I have a a play in PS, just I only know how to alter the contrast and brightness. Your welcome yo have a play.Feedback would be good.Kain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLO Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Being curious, was it taken thru the 2" 26mm eyepiece supplied with the scope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 No mate, 20mm Antares EPI did try the 26, but it was harder to get a good image, the 20mm EP is a perfect fit for the camera lens.Kain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loti Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 These pictures are excellent Kain, love the 1st one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks Guys.I was thinking, the rays from Tycho must spread out a fair distance, good few 100 miles..Kain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Very nice Kain,I Llike number 2...Showas a bit of colour in the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Tycho is around 83 KM across and funnyly enough the Rays can't be traced to Tycho itself, The rays spread out too 1,500 km.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 blumming hell, fair distance then. I always thought Tycho created the rays from it's impact?Either way they look impressive.Kain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OXO Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Tycho certainly did just that Kain but iam saying the Rays don't actually come of the Crater visually, also to note the Surveyor Probe (7) landed in the Crater in 1968 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny_10_Bellys Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have to say I like the hint of colour present in the Maria in the second and third exposures, although the first is probably the sharpest. A little overexposed at the brightest parts but its an impressive range of tones to capture none the less. Well done that man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Posted September 15, 2006 Author Share Posted September 15, 2006 Hopefully be some more later Never be pic of the day quality though Kain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Klevtsov Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Never be pic of the day quality though Don't talk yourself down mate, a lot of it is being there at the right time, the rest of it is doing the right thing at the right time and the crunch is having the right setup at the right time. If you get good weather you're half way there, if you get good seeing that's half way there again. If your target matches your kit as far as image scale goes, and all the above goes for you, that's when you nail a good 'un.Keep at it and you will surprise us all, you included.Captain Chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
