Thank you for your encouraging comments Paul. I took a lot of moon shots approximately 87-90 to make sure atleast a few come out fine. Another reason was I was doing it for the first time using my 8" dob scope with 25mm Plossl EP & the canon 400d via the afocal technique. Also since I didn't have the eyepiece projection adaptor I had to keep my hand over the camera lens and the eyepiece so that external lights don't interfere...well lets just say I wasn't really thinking...i could have used a black cloth I had....anyways....
As for the settings they were all done in the manual mode,
1st image - Focal length = 46mm
ISO = 400
Shutter Speed = 1/160 sec
Lens Aperture = F/11
2nd image - Focal length = 22mm
ISO = 800
Shutter Speed = 1/320 sec
Lens Aperture = F/11
I'm soon going to order the adjusting eyepiece projection adaptor with the T-ring for my 400d to avoid the pain of adjusting the height and orientation of the camera tripod as the field of view of the scope changes.This setup also didn't have my 2x barlow which I recieved today, so over the weekend, I may get some more shots with the barlow and the EP projection adaptor to see how I go. Unfortunately I've already spent a lot of money in getting accessory after accessory and so won't be getting into Prime Focus photography atleast for another year bcoz then for good results an EQ5/6 (dual axis drives) is very necessary....
so as of now I'll be trying to improvise on getting snaps via the afocal technique and hopefully I'll get a crystal clear image of SATURN...an inspiring dream....
thanks
