WOW!

I've taken my first ever pictures of The Moon tonight and WOW I'm amazed at the results I got

Considering i'm taking them afocal with a standard compact samsung 12MP camera they are pretty impressive.

The first is at x48, the second is at x120 and the third is at 200 or 240 i think.

Let me know what you think guys, but im really proud of my efforts

ps: i know they are upside down lol

Another member on here kindly did me a photoshop of 3 pictures i'd taken at x120 and here is the amazing result!

Look to me like someone has caught the imaging bug. It only gets more expensive from here on

The bug has bitten!! Wallet soon to be empty!! Well done

Very nice.... would love to know how the photoshop bit worked... wonder if he could do the same on my attempt tonight with a web cam

Those are some pretty good shots - very sharp.

Thanks for the link. Shows how old the Celestron NexImage CD is - it gives version 2 on the disk
