  • Details
    Date Taken: 02/23/2014
    Location: Fremont Peak, CA
    Telescope: Orion EON 130mm ED Triplet Apochromatic Refractor Telescope
    Mount: Orion Sirius EQ-G Computerized GoTo Telescope Mount
    Other Camera: iPhone 4
    Processing: Photoshop CS6
    Exposure: 1 x 1/15s
    Other Equipment Used: SteadyPix Pro adapter, 15mm Expanse eyepiece, Orion Variable Polarizing Filter
    Notes: iPhone 4 was held up to the telescope eyepiece with Orion SteadyPix Pro with smartphone adapter. Used a camera app called Slow Shutter, which has an exposure delay to allow vibration to settle before shot is triggered. I also used a 1.25" Variable Polarizing filter to reduce glare from the lunar surface.
