Hi All,

I'm also still new at this. Here are a few moon shots out of the many thousand I have taken over the last 12 months. I've selected a couple so you can see what you can do with the equipment outlined below.

Interesting one I took with a webcam of part of the full blue moon phenomena some months ago, I only managed to capture a part of it though due to technical dificulties. As you can see in the blue moon shot, using the delrin plastic webcam adapter really contaminated the CCD. I would not advise using one of these, instead aluminum ones are better, which I know use.

Equipment used
---------------
Celestron 4se Mak, Alt-Az goto
GSO 1.25" 5x Apochromatic Barlow
GSO 1.25" 32mm SV CPL eyepiece
Long Perng 8-21mm zoom eyepiece
Long Perng Afocal Camera Adapter
Sanyo 12 megapixel digital camera
Pair of 1.25" GSO polarizer filters (for neutral density adjustment)
mogg delrin 1.25" webcam adapter (for blue moon shot)


The images are raw and have not been enhanced or touched up in any way using software. I have planned to eventually stack the best of the the series. I will try and post a few more when I stack them. I have created a 48 megapixel mosaic which I archived somewhere and I'm trying to find it. I will also post it up when I do find it.


Thanks...
