Took this shot of the quarter moon after coming home from an evening shift at work, 3 pm to 11 pm. Time was limited so I grabbed my 70mm William Optics refractor and plunked it on a camera tripod and quickly put the 300D into prime focus. After focusing and then experimenting with exposures I settled on 1/200th second at 200 ISO. I then took 7 shots and then stacked and processed then in Nebulosity.
Astronomy and Astrophotography by Michael Booth. I live in the south of Tasmania and in the breaks between the cloudy days and nights I like to get outside and enjoy observing and photographing the night sky.
