Moon - my first attempt
hello all,
I took my first plunge into astrophotography using the telescope. Took a few shots of the full moon on sunday using canon 400d on the 8" dob - afocal technique.
Nothing flashy as compared to some images of the moon I have seen in this section, just wanted to share mine and get a opinion. This was a nice experience because uptill now I used to always photograph the moon, using my 300mm lens. I may buy the t-ring and t-adaptor in the coming months but the afocal technique is okay for moon but won't work for other stuff, untill I get a EQ mount. Also, it was too windy today and I could see a lot of turbulence and wavyness in the atmosphere while viewing the moon.
Do let me know your comments and how to further improve on such photos. Afocal technique was easy with the 25mm Plossl EP but got tougher with the 9mm Plossl EP.
Will be taking some more shots once I get my barlow and hopefully get a steady weather.
Thank you.
