    Moonrise

    I thought I'd bring the old 200mm newtonian telescope out from its dank closet for a run tonight. It hasn't seen the sky in nearly 2 years. The only thing cloudless was the moon for a little while earlier this evening.

    Anyway - all good fun!

    Skywatcher 200mm newtonian telescope, Nikon D40 @1/250th ISO200

    Beautiful detail. Youve inspired me. I've got to pull my finger out and get a t-mount for my D40. The big blue cannon sitting in the corner needs to go out and gather some photons.

    Thanks everyone Much obliged!

    Louise - this is my usual imaging rig:

    1) With Canon 350D DSLR at prime focus. Scope focal length is 820mm.



    2) Same scope with cooled (-20C) monochrome CCD astro camera - capable of ISO20000 or thereabouts. Use RGB colour filters and assemble contone colour image from these. CCD chip is cooled to 30-odd below ambient air temp to eradicate thermal noise associated with long exposures. Additional water cooling will bring the chip temp down to -45C.
