Hi guys, hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, my first shots of the moon
I did try Jupiter but still learning and havent got any decent shots of Jupiter yet, so just waiting on a cheap webcam I ordered to come so I can hook it up
.
Anyway, here are 3 pics I would have loved to have posted them all but I guess I'll save them for facebook
Hope you guys like these as I did my back last night getting the telescope out, I pulled something. I will surely invest in a trolley of some sort so I can cart it in and out without injury.
I've have to stay indoors tonight and I'm admiring whats in the sky through skyglobe
its just not the same.
Anyway, hopefully I get this right, so the pic's were taken using the Afocal method, if that is the correct term.
I used a canon ixus 14.7MP, pointed it into a 25mm EP with a moon filter on an 8' GSO Dob last night about 22.30 I think, may have been later, can't remember as I was in so much pain, trying to keep the camera steady and breathing through the back pain
. I changed the settings on the camera to macro and set the ISO high and used the 10sec self timer. I put them on PSD to crop and frame
Oh and Mental if you pass by, I've not yet purchased my 30mm superview EP, waiting on a client to pay up for the year so I can get some more goodies for 2010, I hope that your mod's are coming along superbly....cheers everyone
Have a happy and safe New Years everybody and lots of fantastic seeing nights for 2010
forgot to mention these were taken on the 28/12/2009
