Pages: 1 Campos member Reged: 12/26/12 Loc: Portugal Lunar imaging with "Dobzilla" :)       #5593896 - 12/29/12 08:21 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hi all, This is my first time here on the forums, so greets from Portugal to all! My name is Luís Campos, I'm a bicycle mechanic and I live near Lisbon, south of Tagus river. My main interest is planetary imaging but also deep sky with a self peltier cooled DSLR (350D). This time I bring you the moon, captured with the 12" newtonian and DMK 21 (old chip) with a 2.5 barlow and red filter, seeing was about 6/10 at best. For anyone wanting to go for high res. planetary/lunar imaging these GSO's are a good and very cheap alternative to much more expensive instruments, the optics are very good, very smooth and very well corrected, I highly recomend it! http://www.flickr.com/photos/37419943@N08/ Best wishes, Luís Campos Post Extras:       joelimite Carpal Tunnel Reged: 09/01/08 Loc: Fayetteville, AR Re: Lunar imaging with "Dobzilla" :) [Re: Campos]       #5594082 - 12/29/12 10:24 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Incredible images of the moon and Jupiter, Luis!
