Nice!

Equipment used if you would be so kind.

 

Really nice

 

10/10

 

and great pic!

 

mad definition, great pic

 

Nice pic...

 

Once it warms up, I really have to try taking some moon shots through my scope. It's really a major PIA though compared to "regular" photography.

 

From another post he has a Panasonic Lumix. That is a sweet pic

 

that is a sweet pic donte....

 

 

i love that chop i made. vere useful.

 

What kind of camera did you take the pic with?

 

He has some kind of Panasonic.

 

Pretty damn impressive for a digicam. From my past attempts at moon pictures, I'm guessing that's somewhere around a 450 - 550mm equivalent focal length.

 

awesome picture

 

go take an earth shot please I need for my nav

 

in what part of SD did you take that pic? i'm down in Chula Vista.

 

Outstanding!

 

thats one hellva good pic right there. good job

 

I enjoy taking similar pictures. For these last couple weeks I've been doing the same (see avatar). I just ran outside to grab this one (my zoom isn't as far as Donte's):



canon 20D
shutter: 1/60th
F/11
ISO 100
200mm
RAW
shutter lock enabled

 

Very nice

 

nicely done! gotta figure out how to take pics through the telescope and I will post here :-D

 

In reference to that grafton/Tufts thread earlier. That campus area in Grafton is perfect for moon & star pictures. The area is very dark with few or no street lights or ambient light from buildings. I went there one night at 2:00 AM because there was a meteor shower reported on the news and when I arrived, there were some 20 cars already there. lol

What kind of telescope do you have? It may require an adapter if you don't already have one.

 

Thanks guys. The camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30



Sun Diego CL-S I live in Vista and I took the shot from my drive way. There is even this big ass street light right next to my house. So I am surprised the picture even came out ok.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30
Exposure time 1/250 s
f-number f/3.7
ISO 80
420mm
Jpeg

If I took the picture in raw format it would have turned out better but I think the jpeg version looks enough.

 

Very cool!!

 

I thought I posted some of my sunset pictures in the off topic forum. I did a search and couldn't find it so I guess I didn't. Here is one and sorry if I did post them before.

 

wow, awesome pics

 

With most small digicams, the easiest way of doing moon shots is to simply set the camera to focus at infinity (usually landscape mode) and just put it up to the eyepiece of the telescope. It can be tricky to get things lined up so it's almost best to put the digicam on a tripod if you have one. Below is a photo I did back in 2002 employing this method with a low power eyepiece in the scope and my Nikon 995 digicam.

 

schwinGGG! that looks great, I love looking at the moon. I was 9 when Apollo 11 landed and the moon was visible so I took my telescope out in the front lawn hoping to see the astronauts. Whatta maroon boy

 

I took this moon picture!!!

 

Wish I had a scope.

 

Astronomy can be just as taxing on the wallet as photography. Much worse actually if you do imaging. The top imager in my club probably has about $30K invested in his setup.

 

I was wandering around London today snapping pics....I was pretty pissed at the vast majority of what I came home with. I thought I had gotten much better stuff.

I will have to crop and do some shit with any of the decent ones I took...There is only one pic that came out really well that I like.

But such is life...I went with the idea of this being an excercise anyway.

 

Well, post up that one good picture so we can see

 

to join in on the fun, i have a few pics myself that i've taken with my Canon 10D



the eclipse shots were taken with a 300mm



and the moon pics were taken by hooking my camera up to a laptop and AztecRols telescope in his backyard






also took a picture of jupiter that same night. not a very good pic, but it's the planet jupiter and it's moons




i'm saving up to buy a telescope soon, something around $3000 with gps tracking. just bought a new laptop, so i'm close to reaching my goal.
