Let's fly to the moon

Here is the latest shot of the moon, my hands are shaking that time coz we don't have a mount yet. Maybe next year! So, bear with me guys :)



Highly magnified moon

 We took these photos at our house (where street light is so kind to us . Dagnabbit). It's fun to have these snapshots, oh yeah before I forgot, I used my new digicam It's HP CB350 Digicam. I'm still playing with it on how to capture best pictures in astronomy.

Now, our plan is to buy DSLR (Digital Single Len Reflex) to capture more deep sky objects (nebula, galaxy) maybe that'll be on next year! It sure is exciting for us! :)

Hope you enjoyed it! Happy Weekend! :)

Images of moon

Just I have promised, I'll be uploading pictures from our 4SE telescope! So here's what we saw:

We bought an inexpensive webcam (Logitech Quickcam connect) for $10 to be used in photography, though we also have to remove the IR lens of the camera to be more light sensitive and will capture more sharp images from CMOS.


We tried it outside in front of our house and set up the gadgets, laptop,camera,telescope, UPS, adaptor. As me and my husband are peeking through the eyepiece, we were astonished to what we have seen! The moon craters are so obvious, the shadows, the atmosphere really into it. Our gadgets really complement with each other. =)

Unfortunately, we haven't took a photo of Jupiter
because of our darn tree blocking our view. Maybe
next time! As we go on, we tried everything that is


available at that time with our remote, such as, Pleades, Orion nebula, Betelgeuse, Saturn, Uranus. (some are being blocked by our roof and trees.)


So these are the snap shots of the moon with an hour gap and different side.


I'll be posting more images of what we see.


Enjoy and have a happy weekend!
