the moon

[cosmicma]

had a go at the moon tonight had to do a bit of sharpening in photoshop to finish it off

1000mm ( 2x converter ) f8, 1/200, 400 iso



added a 100% crop to give you an idea of size

[super mike]

Wow, superb detail.

Looks pretty good to me. Mind you, the lens at 500mm helps with image size. My peanuts 300 struggles.

Looks great, the detail on it is brill

[peterc4]

nice great detail how do you find the converter, from that shot i would say it is quite good

Another great moon shot. Good clarity and taken at the right time (ie. not a full moon )

i bought the converter from jessops in 1999 ( for the solar eclipse ) but it's the same one jessops sells today ( teleplus mc7 ) in reality their not that great i'd say there's quite a bit of loss through them and you can end up with a lot of grain
at the end of the day their a cheapish quick fix for high magnification but no substitute for glass
iv'e never tried one of the canon ones i imagine they would be a lot better

Great shot and something I want to get into, I was looking online for the best way to go about it,

There was someone on here who was teaming up their camera with a telescope wasn't there? Those shots were great. Not seen any of those for a while. Soon as a saw the full moon the other night i thought it would make a great pic.

Very nice shot Cosmic.

I remember that thread, I nearly bought a telescope after reading it but living in the smoke with all the light pollution I gave the idea up. I've been into Astronomy and Archeology since childhood but there's nowhere near me that is good for Astro observation!
