The Moon again! I hoped to get some pics yesterday, as it was beautifully clear all day, but by the time I got the Goose to bed there was a high fog enough that there was nothing to see but a vague half circle glowing through the soup. But tonight is a nice early waxing gibbous, always a favorite phase. The telescope/iPhone process is settling down now. For most things I don't like the 3x camera, it makes daylight objects kinda mushy and flat, but it really brings a level of detail out in these lunar shots that the 1x just can't touch. I didn't bother to use the 1x shots tonight, these are all 3x. The one difficulty is that the full disk of the Moon barely fits in the eyepiece field at lowest power, so we're pushing the edge of magnification versus composition. Possibly I'll use a lower power fixed eyepiece for the Moon and reserve the variable eyepiece for planetary observations. But then I won't be able to get a real closeup on crunchy terminator craters like I did here. Although I forgot -- it's best to set the three-second timer on the camera app for these closeups, as that allows the vibrations from me poking the "take picture" button on the screen to die down before anything happens. In other words -- less blur! 🤪 #iphoneastrophotography #lunarphotography #themoon #shallowskyastronomy #newtonianreflector #telescope #114mm #waxinggibbous https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqb1GTeMMKF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
