My very first Astrophoto

Postby killerbunny » Sun Dec 18, 2005 11:59 am

Besides a flightsimmer, I'm also an amateur astronomer.

Yesterday I tried to make pictures of the moon with my girlfriends new digital camera through my telescope.

This is the result :

The equipment I used :

Top shot KB, I've been trying to get a shot of the moon but without the scope to catch the light they are nowhere near that good.

Wow! :o. I've been trying to photograph the moon through one side of my binoculars, but I can't hold still enough to get that kind of detail. I was thinking about building some kind of bracket to hold everything together and mount it on a tripod. Anyway, well done. :)
