More of the moon
Not as nice as Geoff's, but I thought I'd toss these up here anyway, as they were taken with the same model camera (little compact digital in an afocal approach), but a much smaller telescope.
Camera: Canon IXUS 70 compact digital (7MP)
Exposure: ISO 400, f 4.9, 1/15th sec.
Scope: 130mm simple Newtonian reflector, f/5
Flimsy end of the spectrum equatorial mount (EQ 2 or 3?)
Motor drive disabled
10mm eyepiece + 2x Barlow + neodymium filter
Seeing sucked, and not that the moon isn't bright enough, but it was within 15 degrees of a sodium streetlight 20 metres away.
I got a little carried away and labelled a few craters... :-)
Cheers,
Chris
P.S: Is there any chance of increasing the allowed image size to something a bit bigger than 200KB?
