share naman how you got the moon shot.

Hi Russel, thanks for the interest
As for the moon shot, I used the
Meade ETX-90 connected to my camera with a t-mount adapter. Effective focal length of the ETX90 is 1250mm with an aperture of f/13.5 which is really too small. The images I get are not really that sharp. Want to see a really sharp moon shot? Check
this thread at www.dyxum.com - it's the post by TanKM.
I will have to try to add a focal reducer to my scope and hope to improve the image by a wide margin as it will help focus more light into the sensor
but it will reduce the focal length somewhere to 600mm (I think).
Local skies are bluer than ever
Hope this helps
