Andrewr05 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Did anyone get any good pictures of the moon this week? Here are two that I took with a crappy Sony Cyber-shot dsc-s90: That first one turned out great, too bad that was at maximum zoom...

markiemrboo Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) I wanted to last night, as it was supposedly at perigee, but the sky was one giant cloud here and it didn't want to budge This is my attempt at a 3 exposure merge (hand held, eep) of... the night before last night. Turned out alrightish. And I have just seen that says it's at 180mm and not 200mm, must have slipped by accident. Dammit. This means I need to do it again at full zoom tonight Edited December 13, 2008 by markiemrboo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 That turned out pretty good, it definitely looks better with a higher zoom. So much more detail... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Yeah. I want more zoom! Soooo damned expensive above 200mm though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJRKOC Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I was amazed at the amount of detail I could see last night. Keep the pics coming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewr05 Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 This cam is my sisters, If I looked hard enough I could find the discontinued Sony adapter and then go out and buy a 30MM tele lens but it wouldn't be worth it...

AeroCmdr Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I love seeing pictures of the moon. Great pics so far and keep them coming! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captainlnsano Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I love seeing pictures of the moon. Great pics so far and keep them coming! I am always sad when seeing pictures of the moon When I was little, I used to think the grey spots on the moon when seen with the naked eye resembled a pterodactyl Whenever I look at pictures of the moon, I am depressed that they look nothing like a pterodactyl Good pictures though! (In other news, pterodactyl is incredibly hard to spell) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
malmsteenisgod Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I know I should probably care about this, but after my Astronomy professor gave me a B, I don't even want to look at the moon. /cry And that story about gray spots looking like a pterodactyl is pretty funny, although I don't see it myself.
