Moon: DSLR/iPhone + scope

[deadsimple (Ash)]

Alright so I haven't done anything astro-related in months. I pulled out my iPhone and held it up to my 200mm f/6 Newt w/30mm eyepiece:

After getting an EOS T-ring + 2x Barlow (to achieve focus) adapter pair, my Canon 450D and newtonian met for the very first time.

I took shots at 2400mm, 1/50s exp, ISO200 with the dob mount, no mirror cool-down time, horrible transparency. Followed it with some stitching, leveling, wavelet processing. Here are the results:

Might try later with better preparation/equipment (mirror cool-down + EQ6).

Love the iPhone shot LOL
Only a few years ago this would be pure science fiction.

The screen version gets my vote.

Brilliant work there.
