Cheap Shots

[duncan]

Taken with my $99 samsung. Marginally better than the last ones. Oh well i've just added an EQ6 or G11 to the list of must gets this year.LMHO:rofl::lol:
Oh did i mention a new camera!
:shrug::whistle:

Those shots are not "cheap".. BTW, it is easy to produce excellent shots with k$. The real challenge and success it to do it for less than $100 :-)

G'day Bojan,
Thanks for the compliment. It was a tongue in cheek title as you may have guessed. No clear skies up here so i take what i can get,LOL.
I just need to make up a support for the camera to attach it for Afocal work. Cant do much with it other than moon shots as it is not sensitive enough.
But it has whet my appetite. Dont know thats a good thing,LOL plenty of dollars needed now.
Cheers,
Duncan:thumbsup:

G'Day,
I agree 100%. The only problem now is have you been bitten by the "Camera" bug ;) and wanting to get better and better photo's :P $$$$$$$
Cheers

You want cheap? I'm sure you'll recognise the crescent Moon and Venus, taken just before dawn on my recent trip north of the equator.

Taken with my "free" mobile phone obtained with my upgrade to NextG. It has a whole 1.3 Mega pixels, apparently! Sadly, I'm not quite resolving any craters. :D

But the landscape is still stunningly beautiful... craters or not :-)

Not sure I agree with this statement.:shrug:

G'Day all,
Thanks for the comments, and yes Arthur i can see the dollars piling up.
Spent today making a bracket for my little camera and the bloody clouds rolled in!!!:mad2:
Just my luck. Oh well wait some more.:shrug:
Cheers all:thumbsup:

..looks to me like you didn't use the "4xdigital zoom" there.. no wonder you missed the craters;)
:lol: ..I must give that a try tonite:thumbsup:

[omnivorr]

..are those "afocal" shots- ie thru the EP (I'm new to all this)?
I've gone the other way.. dslr first, yet to get scope:P My first moonshot trial , just thru telephoto, wobbly cheap tripod and manual shutter release... for comparison. Your shots give me hope again, for when I get my scope:)
...my shot had me a lil discouraged. Had to crop it to upload size, but you can imagine the sea of black I had to remove. ;)

G,Day Omnivorr,
