Moon View

Walking today: 3.9km

We got some clear weather at last this week and I succeeded in getting the telescope running with the camera attached. I had to resort to Youtube to find out which of the three eyepieces to attach to the telescope in which sequence to get the thing to focus properly. There are lots of other challenges that I had to deal with - the biggest one being that the camera isn't designed to be used easily when hanging upside down on the side of a telescope ...

So, there are a few technical issues with this picture but I was reasonably happy with the first effort that I took of the moon:


My knowledge of the Moon's features is approximately 0 so I need to learn to find my way around. The large crater with the white rays in the centre left of the picture is crater Keplar apparently.
