Moon

[Omaroo]

More Moon! :lol:

Two images, one at 2048px, but degraded somewhat due to file size considerations and another at 1024.

[Matty P]

That is a beautiful image Chris. So sharp and lovely colour.

Very nice indeed. :thumbsup:

[cookie8]

Stunning!!!!:jawdrop:

[iceman]

Stunning images, Chris. Just beautiful.

Details of the shots?

You can use the IISFTP service (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/iisftp.html) to upload hi-res shots.

Thanks everyone :)

Mike - I'll look into uploading a couple of hi-res versions. Thanks!

[RobF]

Wwooooo......!!

That first one makes me feel like I'm on final approach to the moon base in 2001 A Space Odyssey!!

Fantastic work Chris :thumbsup:

[acropolite]

Nice images Chris, what equipment; did you use the DSLR, single shot or stacked?? etc.

[Omaroo]

Thanks again everyone :)

Phil - I used a Takahashi FS-102, a Nikon TC300 2x teleconv and Canon 350D all mounted o the G11. Single frame, 1/100th sec @ ISO800 :hi:

[Emanuele]

WOw!! Chris! That's "tak" sharp! ;)

Great image!

Didn't know you could use a teleconverter on the imaging train!

[Omaroo]

Thanks Emanuele :) I really appreciate your comments :thumbsup:

Thanks Chris for the Teleconverter pictures! So you put that in front of the Canon and that's it?
:)

[Omaroo]

Yep!

Scope : 2" visual back : 2" Camera Adapter with T-thread : Nikon T-ring : TC-300 : Nikon to Canon lens adapter : Canon 350D

[Emanuele]

NICEEEEEE!!

I will soooooo look into that!

Thank you!

[Omaroo]

Here's another at 1,024px, taken with the Nikon D40 rather than the Canon. Not sure which I prefer...

[RobF]

Nikon shot nice too, but noise beyond the terminator a bit distracting I think?

[g__day]

I've seen some great moon shots before - but that is stunning!

[monoxide]

nice one Chris, excellent for a single frame.
looks almost as good as through the eyepiece ;):whistle:
by the way, have you tried any reducers yet?

[Omaroo]

Thanks guys :)

You're right Rob - the noise comes from the reduction in file size. Grrr..

I'll re-do it and see if I can do better within the 200k limit. I'll also upload the hi-res version via the FTP service.

[Kirkus]

I just have to add my oohs and aahs. Absolutely stunning, Chris!

[astroboy]

Great shot Chris.:thumbsup:
Glad to see that converter finally getting put to good use , it was in storage for some years before you bought it . Hmmm too many toys.
It was also great to catch up with you at the star party.

Thanks
Zane

[Omaroo]

Thanks Kirk and Zane :thumbsup:

Zane - yeah, great to catch up too, and refresh myself of your particular brand of humour. :lol: Always a pleasure. :hi:

[Big Dave]

Nice pic Chris, a shame you couldn't show us your tricks at issac!
- Big Dave

[Omaroo]

LOL! Thanks Dave. A good "trick" would have been to see anything at all at IISAC! :lol:

[UniPol]

Nice shooting Chris, I'm sure a number of IISpacer's are going to be inspired by your images, I would very happy to achieve such great results.

[Inmykombi]

Truely stunning images there.
I found myself just staring at the larger format image and imagining I was in orbit around it.
The detail is amazing.

Keep them coming.

Geoff.
