My first web page and my first astro
photo.....
Celestar-8, f6.3 reducer, 24 mm eyepiece, held my
Olympus C4040 digital up to the eyepiece on full-auto....and a bit of
sharpening in Photoshop 6....
Dumb luck.
Not too shabby! You would not beleive how
long it took me to be able to take a similar photo using film back in the
1960s.
Actually our setups for the moon aren't that
different. I got an Olympus C3020 for Christmas and hand held it to the
eyepiece of my antique C-8 to get this right off the bat www.robertreeves.com/fullmoon.jpg
Later, I got more serious and was amazed at what
I could get on the Moon and Jupiter with this little digital camera. I'm
getting better Moon stuff by acident than what I used to get on purpouse with
film. When I get caught up, I'll post a lunar album to complement the
deepsky stuff on my web site.
