10. The Moon |
| Distance: 356,400 km to 406,700 km (Wikipedia) |
| App. Magnitude: -12.7 (mean full) |
| App. Dimensions: 29' to 34' (cf. telescope field of view 119') |
Notes: The moon was very bright and nearly full, so we gave up on shooting other objects and aimed the scope at the moon. We started at 5 sec at 400 ISO and reduced it over several trial shots until the images and the histogram looked right, but the final histogram turned out to be a little thin. Perhaps we could have gotten better results by doubling the exposure. Zoom in/out with ⌘↑(+/-) (Mac), ctrl (+/-) (PC). |
