Its too bad NASA didnt have webcams and guys like Wes around back in the Lunar Orbiter days, they would have saved alot of money.

Outstanding image Wes and only 79 frames! The noise level of that camera is exceptional.

Eclipse from Palatine, IL

Christine, that is actually a way cool full disk shot of the ingress, but I think the following could be the problem....

<<>>

Digital Zoom does nothing more that just blow up the picture on the screen, like cropping and enlarging. So, you sacrifice a huge amount of image quality. Its just like if you find a small section you like on a 35mm film shot with 800 speed film, you crop and enlarge, and wham! grain city. You probably got the best focus, just you cant tell in the expanded image. That is digital zoom. There is really no reason to ever shoot going into digital zoom because you can digitally zoom a picture after the fact on your computer. Also for the moon just set the autofocus on the infinity lock and that should do the trick for you. You will be able to pick out plenty of craters with nothing more that the 12X optical zoom on you camera, hope this helps. Vince

Outstanding detail Wes! Aperature....there is no substitute! I know what you mean about standing on a ladder holding the laptop and trying to focus. Good luck with your new scope. Vince
