Photo of Crater Copernicus on the Moon

Crater Copernicus through a Refractor Telescope Orion Premium 102mm ED with a Canon EOS T2I and a 2x barlow.

Yesterday I tried to take some pictures of the moon with greater zoom. I focused mainly on the crater Copernicus, which was fantastic close to the terminator of the moon. The moon terminator  is the area between day and night, where the surface details are highlighted by shadows generated by light beating side.

The result was the image you can see above, the result of five photos processed in Registax 5.1. In terms of capturing the details, this is my best photo of a specific area of the Moon so far, but I hope to get better pictures using more frames, programming the camera to take multiple pictures in a row, something I did not do yesterday.

The crater Copernicus is located northwest of the center of the hemisphere of the visible face of the Moon Due to its relative youth in terms of  astronomy, it remains in the same primitive form in which it was formed. Its edge has a circular hexagonal shape especially.

Due largely to its recent formation, the crater floor was not flooded with lava. The terrain along the bottom of it is wrinkled in the south and softer towards the north. The peaks existing in its center, consists of three separate chains together, rising about 1.2 km from the ground. separated from each other by valleys.

The crater Copernicus is about 90km in diameter. In the photo below I put beside it the Federal District of Brazil, which has roughly the same size crater.

First photo of the moon with a telescope Apochromatic

I just take my first photos using the Orion Premium 102mm ED, the telescope that makes me go to New York to realize the dream of having an apochromatic telescope.

Using a Canon EOS T2i camera attached to the telescope directly, without the use of eyepiece, I took this first photo with this telescope. The result made ​​me really happy.

The telescope has a focal length of 710mm. I do not know exactly which equates eye sensor Canon T2I, but compared to the 18mm wide-angle 18-55mm lens that comes originally with the Canon, I guess to put the Canon attached to this telescope has become simply a lens of 710mm, which generated a 40 times zoom.

To attach the camera to the telescope I had to use two accessories that I purchased at Adorama in New York. An adapter for connecting cameras to the telescope (http://www.adorama.com/TVCA.html) and a ring to turn my camera on this particular adapter (http://www.adorama.com/LNTMEOS.html) .

The ease of use compared with the camera lens pointing to the eyepieces was impressive.
