Last night my fiancé and I were doing some star gazing and I decided to take some shots of the moon with my iPhone DSLR mount. After a few easy DIY tweaks and some elementary ingenuity, I started digiscoping through the telescope we were using. Here are the results:
This first shot had mediocre results because of the high contrast in the brightness of the moon vs the darkness of the sky
In this photo I used a higher magnificiation intermediary optic on the eyepiece to get a larger image, and I’m using a filter to decrease the contrast. You can even see some of the craters in the moon!
There is quite a bit of motion blur. This is due to the difficulty I found in keeping my set up setup completely still and the slight movement of the moon as I attempted to take the pictures (who knew the moon moved so much!). There is some chromatic aberration as well due, most likely, to the intermediary lens set up I’m experiementing with.
Overall, I think the results are interesting. Let me know what you think!
