First Astro Photo Ever
by Mike Hankey, under Lunar
Here’s the first astro photo (video) I’ve ever taken.
The motion of the moon thru the picture is actually coming from the Earth’s rotation and not scope movement. I had just gotten the scope setup for the first time when I took this and didn’t have any tracking on. I used the celestron Next Image CCD / Webcam to take this movie on a Celestron CPC 1100 telescope.
