Moon – March 14, 2008 (Thomaston, GA)

Okay… these are some of the best pictures I have ever taken. Taken through my 6″ scope, with a 32mm eyepiece w/ a light pollution filter, Canon A75 point and shoot digital. Some of the pics have some digital noise due to me running a high sharping effect on them, but Moon #1 is the most favorite picture I have ever taken. Click to view (duh! – but I had to put that on the for Big Brother)

Moon #2 – Feb. 16, 2008 (Thomaston, GA)

Here are some more shots of the moon from tonight. Sky was clear for about 20 min, so these were a lot easier to focus. Again, taken from Thomaston, GA with my Canon A75 point and shoot, with my brothers scope.

Moon – Feb. 16, 2008 (Thomaston, GA)

Moon, again from Thomaston. The pics are not that great due to cloud cover, which made focusing and detail much more difficult. The “halo is caused by the clouds, not so much the focus. These pics were taken with the Canon A75 and though my youngest brothers scope.

Moon #2 – Feb. 15, 2008 (Daytime from Thomaston, GA)

More “daytime” moon pics. They appear darker due to exposure times and enhancements, etc. The first pic is the smallest of the four, it is also the most enhanced.

Moon – Feb. 15, 2008 (Daytime from Thomaston, GA)

Moon today from Thomaston, GA (we are back home this weekend). This was taken through my brother’s (Josiah) telescope (SpaceProbe 3 Altaz Reflector 3″) with my Canon A75 point and shoot. Hopefully it will remain clear and I can take some tonight.

Moon #2 – Feb. 14, 2008 – w/ Canon A75

More Moon pics, this time taken with my Canon A75 point & shoot. Thanks to Dr. Michael Covington of the University of GA (Covington Innovations is his website), I have discovered the main problem with my DSLR.

Moon – Feb. 14 2008

Moon shot taken tonight with the Canon EOS DSLR. I still have a halo on the edge, but this is by far one of the better shots I have gotten. I might try and go out later and take some more, and I might take some more with the Canon A75 point and shoot.
