Uwp's Fotothing

wow, fantastic, it is so clear,,,,great...

Too bad that the lens of the camera is too far away from the eyepiece of the telescope, so the picture area is a little bit smaller than normal. Anyway, this has been made with an old Casio cam with 3x zoom. My newer Canon with 12x zoom doesn't create such pictures. I also have a 2x tele lens for the canon but even with this it won't become that good. I'll play around the next months, maybe I'll make it better one day. But this is a quite ok result, although it's a bit small, just 1 MegaPixel...

Great capture (beautifully magnified) of the moon !!!
... Since I can't do such 1-mega-pixel image, I will
instead take a bun of such shape & characteristics,
have it on the table and then take a foto of it !!! .. Eh,
uwp, I'm doing the foto-stitching thing (I mentioned in
my caption of your ncouragement to me of such stitching
thing in 2 of my stitched fotos. THANKS .. I've some great
funs over it !) .. Best wishes of more creative/innovative FT
& other foto imaging in the months of September and October. ~~

losp: thank you! I bet your new camera would do it without telescope, just with the right lens-adaptor. This would be a bit expensive though...
Anyway, it's good to see you're moving forward. Panorama pics are really fun!

Qualquer: thank you very much!

justju, you're absolutely right. But these have been my first tests and those are the only 2 out of 20 that had been acceptable. I could have shown them in original size but it looks better in the small version because now you can even see the sharpness in the thumbnail. Anyway, I will not do this very often to drop below 1 megapixel. This size isn't printable anymore and so it's just some kind of "proof of concept". I just was too proud, I had to show it! :)

You're too kind! :)))

Not to bad!! Keep it up.

Yes, I bought a new rail for my telescope (used: 1 Euro!) with which I also can use my newer Canon cam. In that case I maybe will have some good view on lots of craters. Hopefully...

Yes if you have the proper equipment on you telescope then you can take lots of good shots.
The best thing being a very steady tripod!!

The whole thing is on a steady tripod, but without motor. So I will never get a clear picture of Jupiter or Saturn...:(

Man those are the 2 best things to photograph too. Dont worry I had the same situation with my 10' Dobsonian telescope!

First I'll try with the moon. If this is working I might think about buying a better telescope with motor. Right now all of my lenses are not good enough, I can only see Jupiter and his moons as small points.
