Full moon, Winter, 2001 |
This is the 1st astrophoto I ever took. Like many astrophotographers, it all began one night when you hold up your digital camera to the eyepiece of your telescope and snap a photo, and it came out like this!! As it happens, this particular moon shot was on a night when the moon was as close as it will ever get again for several hundred years. |
8" F10 Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope, 32mm
eyepiece, Kodak D260 camera Not sure of settings, but believe was not less than F4.6 single photo, brightness and contrast enhanced |
