Title: Lunar image
Post by: doug on Apr 05, 2020, 09:37:14
     Took this image with Nikon Coolpix camera through Celestron Omni XLT 150 scope. Such a wonderful view using this large refractor. Must learn how to use a manual telescope, rather than go-to...  Doug.

Very nice Doug
The craters on the right look quite crisp and sharp.
But the limb on the left side less so; did you mount the camera, or was it hand held?

     Camera hand-held up the the eyepiece of the scope.... probably hand-wobble.
