It's a MOON!

Description

In fact, it's OUR moon, taken from Valley Forge National Park in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania way back on a brisk New Year's Eve in 1998, only three hours before 1999.

These were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 950 camera, all of 2.1MP shot through an Orion 127mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope. I believe I used something called 'Eyepiece projection' where I actually attached the camera to the eyepieces and shot through them.

I sold that telescope quite a while ago, but after looking at some Deep Space Imagery done with DSLRs, I hope to press my Sony DSLT A-58 into service on a new, smaller telescope, at least until I can afford to get a new, larger telescope.
