great pic.. i especially like the ... oh wait..

no pics.. i must be tripping balls.


*after OP added images*

ok those are some real nice moon pics. some of them have a mild coloured halo .. is that from the lenses?

I like the 3rd one.. it even has a rock with legs.
aliens?

hang on...

Isn't this the third thread you've started this way? May I suggest you send a U2U to a Mod and ask for help?

You should've used a 1200 telescope and an iphone 5

Will check it out when you get it working!

I think I've been here before...




ETA: You got them working! Wow those are really good. I've been thinking about a telescope. Was wondering what kinda price range I'd be looking at to be able to see some cool images.

next time take the lense cover off of the telescope

wow thanks for the replys

Yes I was amazed myself for the price I also set up a hd web cam and view on pc screen to take video hopping to get something wierd lol no luck yet I do have a couple of wierd stuff in some of the photo I got about 120 of them so far and am looking foward to the next full moon so i can try it all out some more might have a fix for getting it steady for the zoomed in shots

Very impressive and about time...I like the shot of Saturn because I can't see it like that through my scope.Moon pics rockWhen Venus was around I had a nice view of her storms.

Yeah post up your 'weird' pics!

What is the brand of the telescope you're using?

reply to post by scorpiosin


The scope is a 8inch Sky Watcher the eq mount coast me almost as much as the scope but will be good for photograpy once I get the motors.
I will post a pic of scope tonight when I put the weird pics on I can only put them in photo bucket though so ill post a reply once there up when you look to the top right of the full moon through the scope wich is actuly bottom left you see a lot of what looks like cranes and high rise buildings I got one pic so far of that area and am waiting for next full moon to go back there again now I got my zoomed shots more in focus

reply to post by jaffer44


Cool thanks for the info I will check out that telescope. And the other pictures when you get them up and running

reply to post by scorpiosin


just about to leave work will get on about 8.30 tonight and get some more pics up have had some help and worked out how to post them now.
any questions feel free I am still learning myself though

reply to post by scorpiosin


have a new pic at top of post now wich caught my eye if you look at back and though mountians it almost looks like a road or were water has run and a weird lump / line at rear of mountains

Great pictures! May I ask how you ended up posting them? Did you have to upload from your iPhone to a website and then provide a link to the page? I have been unable to find a way to post pics directly from my iPhone. Is it possible?

Nice pictures.

I have an Orion 6 inch reflector that I kind of neglected over the years.

I used to get the clearest planet observations I have ever personally seen.

I need to get it fixed or get a new one.

All I have now is my sons that santa paid 40 bucks for. The clarity is not there at all.

Nice pics! Just to show everyone another option... This pic was taken with an inexpensive Panasonic video camera. And at a miniscule fraction of its zoom capabilities. (Scroll right.)
