Got Moon?
Another Moon shot with my new little Nikon 4500.....to many clouds this morning for anything else.........the clouds actually help on the moon, as it's way to bright normally.
thanks for looking and commenting

I love these shots you post . I can't make any in depth comments because I simply don't understand the technicalities of how you take and post process them. However I really enjoy looking at them. Thanks for posting.

I've got quite a bit of potential magnification. The first shot was taken with the 18mm lens and no magnification from the camera itself....I wanted it full frame.
At the same session I took a shot of the crater in the lower half of the picture with the optical zoom
I've also got an 8mm lens fitted with adapter and a 2X and a 3X barlow that I could use......so I think we could zoom in "way far".
I'm still so new at this, I'm just having a ball seeing what I can capture and what is the most pleasing to look at.
BTW....these are really sized down for the web...their normal size is 1600 X 1200 @300dpi.....I always size down to 700 X 525 @72dpi for web size and try to keep file size to less than 100k...it makes it easier for our dial-up brothers to see.
thanks for looking and commenting....you usually require me to stop and think,

Hey Bud, those pictures are just way to cool. What kind of telescope and equipment do you have. I would be curious as to how much money someone would have to invest to get pictures like this from a telescope and camera setup.

As to equipment...this used my C8 telescope, but a much cheaper scope such as one of the Meade ETX series could be used and get very good results on the planets.
The camera in this case was the Nikon 4500 and probably any new digital camera with the proper adapter would take very acceptable pictures. You do need to have a camera that has some good control over exposure, because the moon is a very bright object and you usually want to take it at a slower speed faster speed than the automatic/program mode would want.....otherwise it'll be overexposed. The nice thing about digital is that you can take a bunch of shots to see which setting works the best.

Oh, and adapters for almost any camera are here:
