QUOTE(March05 @ May 24 2006, 09:17 AM) That's one of the best shots of the moon posted here taken with a standard camera and normal telephoto! What equipment are you using? It looks like it will be excellent for recording the moon phases and both solar and lunar eclipses. Thanks for the encouragement. I can only wonder and imagine what you guys with high-tech telescopes would be seeing. BTW, Should I get one, how much for a reasonably spec-ed one? Im guessing its in the thousands right?My Casio is quite cacat at shooting the moon unaided...hehe. You can see for yourself how bad it is on page 12, post #229 of this thread. Don't blame me if you vomit.....  julchin_09, don't worry too much about trying to understand what we are talking about. Astrophotography is fun when you experiment with what you have. It gets boring when you get too technical. BTW what happened to Choostar? She seems to have disappeared in Oct 2005. As a member of APGM, she would be great to help us out here!  P:S You haven't told what you're using.....  You know, your conversations recently have only garnered responses from a selected few Knowledgable in space jargon. Most of us just sit back and try our best to decipher it ala Robert Langdon. Will try to read up more sites on this. Im used a Camera with 432mm telephoto to get the moon pictures.....  |

By the way, I think Julchin is using his brand new S3 IS. My Casio is quite cacat at shooting the moon unaided...hehe. You can see for yourself how bad it is on page 12, post #229 of this thread.

The moon shot is really great! The quality of the details is over 8/10.  |

QUOTE(julchin_09 @ May 25 2006, 11:37 PM) SNP is a program? Yep, Starry Night Pro is what we call a `planetarium in your pc' program. It simulates the sky (night and day) for any location on earth. Some of us in this thread think it's the coolest software of its kind available today......but then we could be a wee bit biased. So how was last night? |
