Another Attempt at Astrophotography: The Moon Through a Telescope

Saw the moon appear under clear skies, and I decided to take another try at taking a picture of it -- this time trying to see whether I could use my camera along with my little Meade ETX 60 telescope.

After about an hour of fiddling with the telescope's focus along with my camera on a tripod and playing with many, many exposure settings, the following pic was arguably the best of the bunch I shot.

About Me

Name: Keith Schengili-Roberts

Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

An early 40-ish married Dad who has written some technology books, teaches at the University as an instructor in Information Architecture and in Content Management, and works at a certain graphics card company as their Manager for Documentation & Localization. The blog is about whatever comes up, and is meant more as a personal journal that I share with friends and family in order to let them know what's going on in mine and my family's life. As a rule I don't talk about anything work-related here, so most of the musings are of a personal rather than of a professional nature. If you enjoy as well, great, if not, there are plenty of other blogs out there to look at... ;-)
