Better Seeing Conditions last night

[duncan]

Hi all,
Wow! didn't conditions here in the north improve last night.
Well i couldn't resist and mounted the little point & shoot on the scope and here are the results.
Much higher magnification used this time.
Ok Details
Camera- Samsung S630
Manual settings- 1/90s shutter at F4.9 ISO 400
6mp set at super fine.
Taken Afocal through 9mm plossl+2X barlow (333X magnification)
Single shot exposures!!!!!:P
Cheers,
Duncan:thumbsup:

If Gallileo could see these! (and know it didn't take a Prince's fortune to have the means to capture them!)
...I bet the lens size of compacts is a distinct advantage for a-focal.. a better match with the EP ,diameter-wise.
Good stuff.
..now just snare us a live shot of an impact ;)

Great afocal shots Duncan. It's great you're having success at higher magnification.

Hi all,
Thanks Doug. I forgot to mention that at 333X i also had the camera zoomed right up as well. Came out pretty well i suppose for a cheap camera.
Would have loved to have had a G-Star or DMK as conditions were pretty good.
Cheers,
Duncan:thumbsup:
