geppetto Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Been admiring the close up moon images posted here over the last few days so decidedto have a go even though it's not my thing really.Anyway, set up this evening with the 200mm F6 reflector and Toucam with a 2x barlow at prime focus.Collimated the scope till it was spot on and took a load of AVI's of the moon, some with and some withoutthe barlow.This one was using the barlow, 100 frames Registax.Very pleased with it Off now to see what else I caught..

legion48 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Great shot. What sort of magnification would this have been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geppetto Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 What sort of magnification would this have beenGood question.. not quite sure how to work it out with a Toucambut I know that I get a similar sized view through a 6mm eyepieceas I get on screen with the camera.Scope is 1200mm focal length so assuming about 6mm then magnificationis 200 times, then theres the barlow so double that to 400 times.Seems a bit much that but would be interested to know how to work this out.KainSave up for a Toucam mate.You can get these images even with the DOB mount 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard42 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 that is a great image, what type of feature are they? they're not mountains, but kind of look like raised up flat craters? :insects1:still what ever they are there great to look at!

Astroman Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 They're craters, but the low Sun angle makes them appear raised instead of depressed. A negative image of this would show the difference. Truth be known, they look raised to me, too. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
