It was a nice clear night with a bright full moon up in the sky, so I hauled out the telescope and camera attachments to try again with photographing the night sky. Â With my setup, it takes patience, that’s for sure. Â I also took advantage, this time, of using my Canon’s RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME feature of being able to use an external device, such as an iPad or iPhone, to control the camera. Â This way, I could see the viewfinder of my camera on the iPad and record the image without touching the camera at all. Â Makes it handy so that there isn’t any accidental movement by the pressing of the button. Â I also made sure to focus the telescope for the camera’s sake – I think the last time I didn’t and the pics came out slightly fuzzy.
Long story, short, I think the pics came out pretty great! I also took some pictures of the setup.
Viewing perspective tonight
