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!

Moon @ SAFRA stargazing event - 17 Aug 2013

Post by Gary »

Moon taken with 8mp handheld mobile phone. Through 10-inch non-tracking dobsonian telescope at 139x magnification. During last Saturday's SAFRA stargazing event at 11:26pm local time. Thanks to KK for his 9mm premium eyepiece! Live view that night is even more clear and contrasty.

Only cropped, rotated and watermarked. No further image editing/enhancing.
