Moon
30 Nov
I’ve been meaning to have a go at some moon photography. There are some fantastic examples out there.
It must be said that I’ve refused to buy myself a telescope for years, because I’m the kind of person who would get obsessed with staring in to space and would eventually find myself locked in a padded cell somewhere. The universe fascinates me. Too much. And that giant rock in the sky is no exception. I am, after all, a Cancerian. So I decided that if I wasn’t going to buy a telescope, it wouldn’t do any harm to take some photographs and, besides, I was interested to find out what a 300mm lens could produce. The result isn’t too bad for a hand held shot. You can clearly see the Aristarchus, Copernicus, and Tycho Craters, which seems like a pretty good result. In fact, I was surprised how much detail you can get when you give it a go.
