| Introduction |
| On this Web Site you can find images of
Earth´s satellite taken through a small
telescope.
I use a video camcorder to take the images. In spite of
the simple technique (in comparison to eye-piece projection
or CCD imaging), I am quite satisfied with the results
(you can see much better images at some of the sites listed
in my moon-links).

Tilted Moon Images
- With a technique devised by J-P Metsavainio it is possible
to tilt images of the moon to rectify regions near the
lunar limb which would be otherwise heavily distorted.
I describe the technique on my page: Tilting
the Moon |

2004 November 09
Applying another idea by J-P Metsavainio I created some
3D Images of the moon.

Videography Setup |
 Some
of the Images were produced with rather common equipment.
I use a Sony TR2200 Hi8 Camcorder. The camera is located
on a tripod and looks into a 20mm Kellner eyepiece like
a human observer would do. I digitize the images with a
SNAPPY frame-grabber.
The more recent images were mostly made with a Nikon Coolpix
950 digital camera. The camera is coupled to the telescope
via a Vixen digital camera adaptor. |
