A blog about all the things that peaked my interest over the years. From electronic gadgets, electric cars, video games, audio books and astronomy to the general pursuit of happiness. But who knows what will be next ? Only time will tell...

The file is in 1920×1200 format to fit your wide-screen desktop if need be : )
Looks good!
what did you use to image with?
are you using a focal reducer? I seem to not be able to get the entire moon with the celestron nextimage, even with the focal reducer tube they sell as an add on.
I actually always have the same problem. I took several pictures and then merged the three images together in photoshop.
I would also like to find a suitable focal reducer so that i can take pictures of the moon. I don’t really want to have to buy a telephoto lens for my camera….
