the moon last night

[rdking647]

hooked my camera up to my telescope. basically its like using a 1000mm f9 lens on a crop sensor
the first one was edited to show more lunar details

3. Nicely done!

What camera?
What telescope?
Any special gizmos need to connect the two?

4. sony a6000 camera

celestron nexstar 102 scope
just a t adapter to connect teh scope to the camera. basically the telescope becomes a 1000mm f9 lens.
i ordered an attachment that will effectively double the focal length that i will play with when it comes in. and since the a6000 is a crop sensor i will have an effective 3000mm lens.

we will see how it works

im just learning how to shoot the moon and planets

5. Those are amazing! Once in a Blue Moon...

I used to have a telescope that almost came that close to showing such incredible detail.

Thank you for sharing those, rdking647!
