Moon Pic from Messier Marathon

Hi all,

Took the below picture of the moon during the EAAS Messier Marathon on Friday night. Used Meade ETX70 scope, 9mm eyepiece and Casio ZX50 digital camera handheld shot - eyepiece projection. Enjoy.

Neill - that's nice shot. A tad out of focus to the right but nice all the same. You should enter that into the March competition.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the comments. I can do better, it was a handheld shot, hard to do. Its nowhere near good enough for the competition in my view, if I get a chance later in the moon - will take a pic with the webcam, always get nice detail, could enter it if I think its good enough.

Neill

Its a good start Neil, I also started out in lunar photography by holding the camera up to the eyepiece, then I cought the accessories bug when I got the orion steady-pix, then t-adapters and rings and then decided I needed a better camera and the list goes on, a self perpetuating escallation in spending money :lol:
