Well, the dobsonian arrived yesterday, as expected. Very tough to control with the kind of magnification this camera provides. Nevertheless, I thought I'd take advantage of some semi-clear sky. There is a thin cloud layer present in these photos. Trouble is, I cannot find this area of the moon on my maps. I believe this to be the extreme bottom of the moon, but nothing looks familiar in the moon atlas I'm using. If someone can point out a couple craters, I'd appreciate it.
Again, I believe this to be the extreme bottom of the moon, but it COULD be the top too.
Here is another image, from a differet area of the moon.
It is entirely possible that I have the camera positioned in a who knows orientation. Anyway, I thought I'd post these. The focal length of this scope is about 1500mm, so this is about equal in apparent field as what I use to photograph Saturn, so the magnification is VERY high.
