Moon - Neximage through SLR lens

[peter_4059 (Peter)]

I thought I'd try hooking up the Neximage to some old SLR lenses I had lying around for a wide field shot of the moon. Here's tonights first try.

Nice work Peter. Shows the almost full Moon really well.

Cheers

Thanks Dennis,

Very hard to focus compared to the telescope which has a motor focuser - especially on the flimsy tripod I was using.

Next challenge is to mount it on the GEM and hook up the DSI. I have a shorter FL lens for some wider fields.
