Moon

Image taken 10 Sep 2002, 19:00
Location Old Winchester Hill, SU645213,  50°59'16"N 1°04'55"W
15°C, slightly hazy
Equipment used Helios 8" newtonian reflector, 20mm eyepiece
Pentax P30T, 50mm standard lens
Comments This was our first experiment at taking a photograph through the telescope. We were surprised to find that the camera was able to focus through the 20mm eyepiece although our efforts to stabilise the camera on a tripod failed - this was a handheld photograph with a 1/2 second exposure.
