The Full Moon
The FULL moon tonight, 9/30/2012, taken with my telescope and DSLR camera at 2AM in Minnesota, the sky is crystal clear.

This was my first attempt to take photos with my new telescope and DSLR camera. I’m not using an adapter, but didn’t need one.
This is a photo using the camera alone with my telephoto lens at maximum zoom:

Notice a difference? The telescope photos are like mirror images, the telescope images need to be flipped to match what your eyes see.
I flipped one of them, see below,
Now it looks like the photo taken with the camera and telephoto lens which doesn’t flip the images.
Now,
I have a question:
Too bad, this photo doesn’t seem to show the ol’ favorite smiley “face on the moon”
sorry about the slight fuzziness in the photos, i did not use an adapter, i’d probably get sharper photos if use a telescope/camera adapter.
Comments are welcome.
