First attempt at a moon shot

[G00GS]

Hi folks,

I tried this just last night and out of an ordinary bunch I got this. I used a 20mm Saxon lens and the neighbours Kodak camera...

Gotta admit I was pretty happy about it concidering LOL

Pretty good GOOGS, some blue haze round the limb at high res but still very good for first time :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[G00GS]

that's a great effort for hand held!!

Ron, I found with my Canon powershot A85 on moon shot I have the same effect
going on, with the blue haze around the limb. When I brought the image into PS
and seperately looked at the colour channels they were each of a different size.
Red being the smallest, then green and then Blue being the larger. Took awhile
to adjust this but it did marginally improve the image. I wonder if the DSLR have
the same problem.

I have you to thank Dave :) I followed your instructions to T and very nervously began my collmination adjustments... I broke a sweat and afterwards had a good shot of Bourbon LOL

End result was a noticable differance in my viewing quality!

Thanx all the encouragment is appreciated!

hey, it took me months to start collimating, now it is easy and just part of the viewing process. You get that extra detail for a couple of seconds of extra work

well worth it.

well done!!
