Waning Moon, 26th August 2019

I took 100 subs (1/500th @ ISO800) for this image at the end of quite a long night last night. The seeing had been excellent, but I’m not really happy with the outcome here. I think perhaps the DSLR doesn’t … Continue reading

Waning Moon, 24th August 2019

Another clear night, another moonshot… Pleased with this one. Copernicus seems to have come out well and there are plenty of hints of high peaks beyond the terminator. Lack of sleep means I can’t recall the exact circumstances at the … Continue reading

Waning Moon, 23rd August 2019

I’m such a martyr, I really am 😀 It was mostly cloudy last night so I’d abandoned all hope of imaging and got into some development work on oacapture/oalive. Time passed quickly, as it does, and before I knew it … Continue reading

Two nights in a row clear enough to get an image of the Moon! Best 45 of 100 frames from the 450D and 127 Mak again, but this time 1/500th sec exposure to try to reduce the effects of wobbly … Continue reading

So, a newly-aligned mount and just past full Moon, what’s a chap to do? Well, when the sky gives you moons, make moon images! I broke out the 127 Mak and 450D and dropped them on top of the HEQ5. … Continue reading

Lunar Eclipse, July 2019

I’d forgotten I had these, but July this year found me in France for the lunar eclipse. By complete coincidence the second summer holiday in a row where I’d been able to watch a lunar eclipse. Sadly I was ill-prepared … Continue reading

Lunar eclipse from Southern Spain

The lunar eclipse at the end of July found me on holiday in Spain in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains with a view to the coast and beyond (as far as Africa, in fact). I had used my … Continue reading

Mono lunar imaging with a DSLR

I got to thinking the other day that when I capture lunar images with my 450D they’re pretty much monochrome.  I know there is a tiny amount of colour there, but you really do have to drag it out.  If … Continue reading

Ghosting problem on Moon images solved

I hope I have now resolved my problem with ghosting appearing on lunar images with my 450D. I finally had a night with a clear period long enough to take subs of the Moon at multiple exposure times. First I … Continue reading
