Daytime photo of Venus and the Moon

reply to post by griffinrl



Thanks again,I have been filming the moon using a pocket digital camcorder and a self supporting system i made from wood plumbing bits and string to get some quite good results although a real pain to use that is why I am trying a web cam although the pocket dv is a better camera and the 4x digital zoom helps to get in closer.See what you think I have posted a couple of my moon films below.

Outstanding! You can get a little bracket that will attach a digital camera to the eyepiece holder on your scope. I would bet it would work with your little camcorder too. waveguide and ngchunter are more the experts on imaging than me though. Heck I just do it for fun because I enjoy astronomy
