moon as seen from Kalaheo, HI 2-7-05

my first moon shot with my brother's telescope

Hi Amelia,

 

What lens did you use for this image?

It was a telescope that I attached to my Canon 20D body... the telescope was a Celestron C5; I needed an adaptor (T-ring) specifically for hooking Canon w/ Celestron. Thanks for looking.

Not bad at all for a first ! Astrophotography can be very rewarding. Keep trying ! Regards, L.

Nice first shot. The reason I say that is that you have done well to get a good exposure, as the moon in its gibbious state is often over exposed as it`s a lot brighter than most think requiring much shorter exposures so if this is your first attempt - Well Done!
