there, taken with my trusty Sony point-and-click held at the end of a refracting telescope... really sorry for the crappy image quality, the cam didn't focus properly... :(
p.s: I don't think I'll be able to comment for a while, hopefully my old machine is repaired by Friday... :/
Oh nice one Bro..
ReplyDeleteLove the Full Moon =D
I don't see the rabbit... I think I see its guts instead =D
ReplyDeletewould have looked pretty - if not for the out of focus-ness :D hehe. that being said - there's just something about a full moon.
ReplyDeletePoor you.. hope you'd get it fixed soon. And no worries about comments. We can wait. =D
ReplyDeleteBTW couldn't you have taken it without the telescope? Still it looks nice. ^__^
life tends to be down when PCs and mobile phones dont work.. hope it'll be fixed soon..
ReplyDeletetc
Which moon of Saturn is this?
ReplyDeleteLoving the full moon.
ReplyDeleteBtw, get your PC repaired.
=)
Tc!
Thanks everyone for the comments! PC is fixed!!! yay! :D
ReplyDelete@Disease: yep, nothing more beautiful than a perfect white orb in the night sky! :D
@The Puppeteer: lol, you and your morbid thoughts! ;)
@black: yes... :( it's pretty tricky to get the camera to align properly with the telescope tube too... this is the best shot I got after about half an hour trying... :)
@Harumi: you can't get this level of detail without a telescope... even at the best zoom level (4x) the moon would've looked about 8 times smaller! :D
@Lady Divine: yeah... major pain! :)
@Kirigalpoththa: haha! :D would you believe me if I said Titan! ;) :D
@GG: thanks!!! :)
I see a snake in the moon. o_o
ReplyDeleteAnd dude! Where the hell did you get a refracting telescope?! I waaaannnttt.
Maks: yep, I see it too!!! O.o and then when I turn my head a bit I see Mickey Mouse! :/
ReplyDeletethe telescope is pretty old... it's been hanging around in my cupboard so decided to take it out and look at the moon... :S I wanna build a reflecting telescope, I can't see anything beyond the moon with the one I have... :(
;) Nice effort mate !
ReplyDeleteHad you taken it with a normal camera only you will see it as small as this
oh really? hmm.. that's too bad. Have to depend on Hubble for a perfect shot then. =D
ReplyDeletePS: greatta hear you've fixed it! ^__^
PPS: oh wait.. how come I missed the 'refracting' part.. wow.. lucky you! Yep, do get a reflecting telescope ASAP and take more pics of moon and all the planets and beyond *if that's possible* and share with us.. =D
@K: hehe ;)
ReplyDeletethanks for the link K! :D
@Harumi: Hubble is one of the most brilliant things ever put in space, isn't it? I just love looking at those amazing pics of Nebulae and Stars thousands of light years away!!! :D
thanks! :)
lol, I think buying one would be far too expensive but armature astronomers frequently make reflecting telescopes on their own... :) so as soon as I find a good mirror, I'll start taking pics and posting! ;)
thanks for the comments guys! :)
Ya.. that reminds me.. I had a fine set of photographs of almost all the planets of our solar system sent directly from NASA, when I once wrote to them while schooling I think. But believe it or not, some years back when we had to relocate, that precious file which had all the clippings on Astronomy and the like, and those pics all disappeared! -__-
ReplyDeleteThat was a big shock to me. And thereafter I didn't even get much time to spend on this subject. I miss those times and those pics.. -__-
hehe.. wow.. that's greatta hear. So you're gonna make a one from scratch. Oh and before you take pics of the moon, I'd definitely wanna see a pic of your hand made telescope. =D
@Harumi: wow! they do that? :D that's amazing... so sorry to hear that you lost them though, I understand why you'd be shocked... priceless stuff isn't it? :(
ReplyDeletelol, I don't think I'll be making it anytime soon... I've been building a Ukulele for about 2 years now and it's still not finished, so I don't think the telescope will happen anytime soon... :)
Thanks for the comment Harumi! :)
