Moon with 150mm Achromat

[DavidU (Dave)]

I'm still fiddling around with mastering bright objects with a large achro.
I still don't have a good camera so I used the kids 6MP Samsung cam
I use a Sirius -V filter then into CS2 for processing.
1/250sec OSC
It gives me good practice until I can get a Canon.

Not a bad shot at all

Might pay to grab a semi-apo filter....will help reduce the fringe.

nice shots its the person that counts not the camera

Have you tried using the video function to capture Jupiter?
Nice moonage!

Yes I have but the image size is to small.
I must get a web cam and try it again.

Some really nice Shadow detail in both your images there.
Good size images too.

Thanks guys.
I must have the cheapest imaging setup on IIS. Still, I think a lot can be done with a non APO refractor.
My scope cost 1/10th the cost of a second hand TAK
