Moon Last night.

A clear night last night with the exception of some high cirrus clouds. The problem for me it seemed, was an awful amount of light pollution scattering on the thin clouds. I took 175 images in total of Saturn, M42, M45 and the Moon. I have so far binned approx 2/3's. The good news is [for me any way] I am getting better at focusing my D SLR through the telescope. Here is one I took of the Moon.


I am starting to enjoy photographing the moon, It is nice and easy practice for beginners of D-SLR astrophotography and I am enjoying the results. Taken with Canon EOS 350D, 1/80s at ISO200. f6.3FR 8" SCT. Lightly processed in Photoshop.
