Description

84.4% Moon

I took my granddaughter with me to the front yard for her first astrophotography lesson; I shot early because it was a school night. Several questions came up.

Q: Why do you have to align the camera? Just point and shoot.

A: We will be taking several pictures.

Q: What is a latitude and longitude?

A: We will cover that at another lesson.

After I aligned the mount I set the focal length to 600 mm and zoomed in x100 to focus.

Q: Are those craters?

A: Yes they are.

Q: Why do you have to take 20 pictures?

A: I am going to stack them.

Q: What do you mean by stack?

A: We will cover that at another lesson.
