I think we are assisting at the renaissance of photography and it takes some time for everyone to ajust. If Micheal Ange or Leonardo had an Imac or a Digital Camera what would they have done with it ! Puriste in french means shooting pictures with a showbox : )

It's possible to photo with Newtonian Reflectors, but not as easy as with a refractor, so not really recommended.

Posting Moon shots:...
Published (2009-11-10 03:35:00)
This could be a very good discussion. Probaby no one in this fine forum has come under more criticism for excessive lunar PP'ing than me, so I can speak from that experience. Let's all accept that no PP at all isn't achievalbe; your camera does some on its own with every shot. As far as the moon is concerned, I think it's pretty darned dull "as shot" and, for me, it only comes alive after bringing out...

Wonderful set. Keep using that lens, though. That star trailing you noticed with longer than 30s exposures will begin to appear at shorter and shorted exposures the longer focal length you have.

Star Trails?
Published (2009-11-05 01:41:00)
Thanks. And yeah, I did get a few, I'm just trying to stack them, but I cannot get an output image, it's really difficult. And it juts takes so long to keep trying. And I do believe I was slightly off focus, that's due to struggling in the dark.

"The "heavensabove" website tells you the times..."
Visited the site but I cannot figure out how to enter my own Lat/Long. All it wants to show me is 0 deg N 0 deg W. It must come over southern England at some time?

(I did a search on "purist" prior to posting and nothing came up)
I've seen lots of great moon shots here.
Being new to this forum/topic, is there understanding to post your moon shots "purist"/straight with very little PP, or to each their own artistic/technical abilities and post for others to C&C?
My shots, I have Mac version PhotoshopElements6 and have applied very slight sharpness ...

Looking good. I love the Tokina 11-16 for night landscapes and star shots like this. I wouldn't recommend using a telephoto lens if you want nice star pictures, unless ...

Nicely done! Sigh... living where I do, this kind of shot is impossible (can we say " light pollution," boys and girls...).

That's got everything...lovely scenery, pretty clouds, Aurora, star-fields, and M31. Cracking shot, even though it's not your best.

For those who may have already seen this, I had it posted in the wrong section so apologies...

Had to find Polaris by way of cheap compass due to all the light pollution from the street lights... I was just a couple degrees off.

Wow, those are fantastic shots...really like them.
I've been seeing the halo around the moon quite a lot lately, due to "adverse" weather conditions, but I've never seen it quite as clear as that, and haven't captured it like that either. It's usually a halo hidden amoung clouds for me, rather than a smooth mist like you seemed to have there.

Hello, need some advice from the pros in here. I normally spend my time up in the Performing arts section as Rock concerts are my speciallty. However the stars have always been of interest to me. Things in music are slow in my area so now I have time to experiment with the moon. I am using a Meade ETX 125 PE with adapter of my 50D and a I also have a modified web cam as well.
