Distant


sometimes our neighbor can be more distant than the moon ...

Many years ago I have been proud of having imported
a Celestron 5 reflecting telescope directly from the USA;
the pictures taken with it were hardly better than those
photographed with my Canon Powershot.

  9. @ pcphotoblog:

    Here I am with some informations. The picture was taken in 2008 with my since Canon Powershot S5 IS including a teleconverter 1.4x. The camera was set on my tripod, I was using the self-timer. And, of course, I had to take just a series of pictures to find one or two rather well done.

    Some EXIF data:
    Exposure Time 1/400 sec
    ISOSpeedRatings 160
    ApertureValue F 3.51
    FocalLength 72.00 mm

    I did a little sharpening with Elements 5, nothing else.
