Supersharp! Do you have a telescope with a camera attachment? Wow.

Yes. I use an 8" reflector with a Philips SNC900SN webcam. I then use Registax to stack and process the image.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo from my back garden using my 8" reflecting telescope.

Time

It was taken at approximately half past 11 at night.

Lighting

Not really for these types of shots.

Equipment

I took this using the telescope and a TEM1300 camera.

Inspiration

I have observed the Moon for over 40 years and this shot has nearly all of my favourite Lunar objects in it.

Editing

No straight forward snap and shoot shot!

In my camera bag

The only essentials are the telescope, the TEM camera and a very rare clear night!!

Feedback

Not really as it is a simple one shot image and no post processing involved. Just get out there and have a go for yourself. You can get good images with a hand held digital camera with a good zoom, try it for yourself and see!
