The Moon is really full but I can't do observing tonight. My hurt hand doesn't allow me to carry my telescope.

Actually, full moon is not a great observing night. Quite a lot of faint stars are invincible due to the moon's glow.

A 7*50 is the best beginner binocular. You can visit www.grandeyes.com.hk (Anthony). He is a great dealer. Enquire him about the 7*50 binocular.

As the president of my school Astronomy Club, I am still enquiring the school whether we can accept members other than students.

I believe most of the binoculars use BK7 as the lens. The correct URL should be www.grandeye.com.hk Sorry for the mistake.

Just image it with longer exposure. I think 2 seconds will be enough. It's a common optical effect. It's called Moon Halo.

Set the exposure type of your camera to Tv so that you can adjust the shutter speed.

Do you have sun filter?

Make sure you get a solar filter for your camera or the CCD or CMOS of your camera will be burned.

Proper equipment? Maybe you can find it at my blog.

The filter you mentioned is just the normal solar filter. The filter utilized to take the photo that March05 showed is the Hα filter.

The moon you shot can actually be a lot better. I think that's the weather that hid some details.

For example, this is my lunar eclipse artwork.

March05, how much did you pay for the solar filter?

Hey man... looks like you have many lobang for borrowing these equipments, where do you get them from? Anyway, nice shots!

What's the club that you joined? I would like to do observing together.

Wow.. I didn't realise that as well. Maybe it's time for a reincarnation~
