A couple of Night Sky Attempts
May 14, 2013 09:36:44 #
Went out with my neighbor and his telescope last night for a first attempt at telescope photography.
The first one is the magnificent sunset waiting for dark. Second is the moon and finally an under-whelming night sky image.

Really good first time results. like the sunset sky, moon is nicely exposed. What shutter speed on the night sky?

Taking a deep breath and asking a question. The only stupid questions are the ones that aren't asked? I have a D600 how do you shoot through a telescope ?

My neighbor has a Nikon adapter, so it's like attaching the camera to a big BIG lens.

Hello folks. To aattach your camera to a telescope you need a T-adaptor. You can get them quite cheap from wexphotographic.com. also you can get adaptors for doing eye peace projection photography. Hope it helps.
