Wesley's Tool-Box

One of my old-time friend was intrigued with the Saturn photos that I took with Canon SX50 HS, and he wanted to see what Moon would look like with it. This is my answer. The camera takes really big photos of the satellite, so I'm showing just a crop (click the image for the full picture). Even the small craters are easily distinguishable. The power of the superzoom never ceases to amaze me.

For the record, this was taken with my first daughter Celine. She loves looking over the sky with her dad. Half of the photos used for stacking were taken by her.

Settings: 1200mm, ISO 80, 1/60s, 22 photos stacked with RegiStax 6.1.0.8

Chuseok (Korean thanksgiving) holiday week is closing, but the weather cleared up and I had the opportunity to snap some photos of the full moon. The $40 toy telescope acting as a makeshift zoom lens for iPhone 4's camera worked okay and reveals lots of details. Enjoy!

Yes, I ordered a telescope after taking the last moon photos.

Today's Chuseok and what better celebrate the holiday than watching the full moon and eating good food? I am currently in Ulsan and at my home here I have an old binocular, which I used with my camera to take a somewhat better close-up photo of the Moon just an hour ago.

Tonight had a very nice showing of the full moon on clear skies. I took several shots, but it turned out that the first one looked the best. This photo is taken with my Sanyo VPC-C4 camera at full zoom (5.8x) with infinite focus lock. It's about the best I can do without using a telescope.
