Couple of hours of actual work, a lot of time seems to be spent staring at the screen wondering what'll go where.

This one took about 45 minutes.

So are you combining several shots into one? Or how are you ending up with this final product?

Yeah, every element in the picture is from a separate photograph I have taken at some point.

OH YEAH... had an epiphany earlier when I figured out what the little screw was for on the telescope adapter: to put eyepieces in there and hold them in place! The 9mm eyepiece fits, which gives massive magnification but also cuts a ton of light out, and I hacked up the 2x piece to make it fit in there too (but not at the same time). So tonight, I'll do a super zoomed in shot too.
here's an example

35mm lens

Telescope attached

No that's not a crop... craziness :P

There was a lot of fast moving clouds tonight after the rain, this one has some clouds in front, I thought it made it look cool
Image

I got some with the 2x and the other magnification lens but they aren't very clear and not really worth the trouble.

Uhhh Andy, do you plan on using it anywhere other than your home?

I don't know why, I got this image of you on the beach with that thing taking pics saying "shut up, shut up, shut up" as people walk by.

This is a sidewalk that normally resides at the bottom of a lake that was created when the Grand Coulee Dam was built, flooding several small towns. The lake is currently dammed off as there is a lot of spring runoff. This town was last above the water somewhere around 1942.

Through the new scope... this thing works really well with the camera, and is crazy when looking through the eyepiece. I wish I could get the detail that was in the eyepiece... maybe with a real mount. This setup was, .. tricky :)

The moon doesn't fit in the frame completely, but I have every part of the surface covered and when i get teh photoshops I'll put them together, that should be mid-week as I'm buying it off someone that bought it with the student discount. score

and this one is my favorite

So those were with the larger scope, this one is with the one I've been using:

I liked your earlier moon pictures better. It feels like there was more detail in them. granted it was probably its position to the light source and the shadows that naturally occur because of it, but these "full moon" images are somewhat flat, and seem blurry in comparison. Not sure if it has something to do with your settings due to the fact that the moon seems brighter now and you lose the detail on the surface or what.

I do see now what you mean here Tsakali as I go back through those shots. The earlier ones have more depth/detail.

Still beautiful work andyman :up:

It's just because of the light filling in every nook and cranny, you can't really tell any depth. The good thing is that there's still another 2 weeks or so to get all the lovely shadows on the left side of the moon, which I will do. Going to strap the scope to the mount with mini cargo straps :)

I found it very hard to get the focus right on the full shots too...
