I purchased a new toy for my photography...a spotting scope usually used for target shooting. It came with an adapter enabling a smart phone to be attached. This crescent moon capture (not cropped) edited in On1 PR 2019.5 won't win awards in the astronomy field, but the results convinced me it was worth the price. The scope is 20 - 60 with 80mm lens, which is equivalent at full magnification to a 3000mm camera lens.  |

Peterj, Thanks for sharing. A little bit more and you may be able to serve as a guide if the NASA ever decides to go back to the moon!

That's pretty decent Peter. Thanks for sharing. Clive Thank Clive, I struggled with adapter quite a bit and still wasn't completely happy with the results. I purchased an adapter from Phone Skope which made the alignment MUCH easier. Last night's moon no edits.

On Tuesday 2/19 we'll be able to experience the closest Super Moon of the year. The technical term for a Supermoon is perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system. In astronomy, the term syzygy refers to the straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies. Another name is perigee Full Moon.
