Re: Lunar Photos
My equipment is an 80 mm Refractor with a 900mm focal length. The eyepiece was an Orion Starshoot USB eyepiece camera II. It has about the power of a 5 mm eyepiece. I took a video, and I ran it through Registax to get this.
I also have a picture of Jupiter on another post with the the same equipment.

Very, very nice. Congrats on that image. I still remember the first time I got a really nice, tack-sharp image of the moon.

Re: Lunar Photos
Hello Jared. Yet another excellent lunar image of the Mare Nectaris region on here in the last few days. Excellent contrast, surface details and Crater Theophilus with central peak really jumps out in your capture. Thanks for sharing this with us Jared and keep up the great work.

Re: Lunar Photos
Usually I take a video between 10 seconds and one minute. Depends. As for the mount, I was using a tracking computer mount.
