Some moon shots from last night. was created by jmckeon
Set up the scope last night despite the fairly strong wind. It turned out to be a pretty good night for moon viewing. I managed to take these shots using backyardEOS. Its a great piece of software from canon that will work with almost any EOS dslr. I'm sure most of you have heard of it/used it, if not check it out.

This shot is a mosaic of two images as the moon won't fit into the fov in prime focus.


I took this shot using the 5X zoom in backyard eos, it works quite well.


The telescope is a C8 SCT, the camera used is an EOS 1100D.

Great images! nice details on the blow up shot. I tried Backyard EOS before but now using APT ( www.ideiki.com/astro/ ) and not looking back!

Lovely shots, especially the first one, it reminds me of the cold autumn night it was last night :)
