CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Day 4 Moon

Post by weixing »

Hi,
Taken yesterday evening. The Moon was quite low and some cloud are on the way to cover it, but still manage to quickly take a series of images in a window of a few minutes using my scope (1000mm) and Canon 300D at prime focus.

Below are the result of the quick processing of stacking 50 images (1/50s @ ISO100). The image was a bit blur... may be due to focusing was not that good and the fact that the Moon was quite low.

Have a nice day.

Hi,
This is another shot taken yesterday evening. A single deliberate over expose shot (5s @ ISO200) in order to show the dim earthshine without any processing... may be I should expose longer to get a brighter earthshine...

It also show the false colour of my scope (with VR-1 filter).

Have a nice day.

Hi Weixing,
Wow!

I like both pics... each has its own values from the perspective of visual arts. The first pic centred more on the Moon while the second centred more on the light of the Sun reflected from the Moon.

Some day, I'll be as good as you with photography... Your pics are inspiring me just as boothee's pics were too.

Cheers!
