Photo of Crater Copernicus on the Moon

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.

Photos of the Moon using a 6mm Kokusai Orthoscopic eyepiece and a 90mm Achromatic Refractor
While the sky of Brasilia looks like it will stay cloudy forever, I could only get some short videos I made last week and play a little with them.
I remembered that I had some images recorded with a 6mm Kokusai, which I recently acquired. With these eyepieces could get much more zoom of the moon than in previous posts.
Of course, I still have a lot to improve and I can take more of my achromatic refractor of 90mm, but I'm quite happy with the result in these images.

New photos of the Moon and Jupiter, with a 90mm refractor telescope, Barlox 2x and 10mm eyepiece.
I am now with my old 90mm refractor telescope at home, in my apartment in Brasilia. My mother got very sad that I have taken the telescope from her. She thought her living room was beautiful with the telescope in the corner and was delighted to see how whenever a child went to the farm, he went straight to it.
But I'll never improve in astrophotography without my telescope besides me. So, these days I could take this picture of Jupiter from the window of my apartment which got no better than the one I took five years ago.
Yesterday I decided to take some pictures of the moon, but clouds spent their time in front of the Earth's satellite, so I did not have much tranquility. But using an eyepiece plossi 10mm, a 2x barlow and a Bloggie Sony camera that shoots in high resolution, I could take the images below.
I have used an adapter purchased at astroshop that connects the camera to the telescope, but I still could not use the full potential of it. I wish I had had time to take some pictures with a 6mm orthoscopic eyepiece I have, but I ended up not working yesterday. I'm sure I'll get some time here better photos in the future.

| This one highlights the crater Tycho, and the center. The photo was processed in black and white |
 |
| This further shows the crater Copernicos, left, and again Tycho, right. And can also clearly see the sea Homorum, at the top right. This photo was processed in color, note the subtle difference. |

The first pictures I took with a 90mm refractor telescope - Jupiter, Saturn and Moon
And now I'm starting to talk about astronomy here in my blog, I put here some pictures I took with my first good telescope. These were the first photos I could take with him.
The technique was more than simple. I approached the camera, a Polaroid 1.3 megapixel camera, to the lens and tried to photograph the image that appeared in the eyepiece. See the results:

 |
| Jupiter - The two main bands are visible. This image was very close to what I could see with my own eyes while looking at the Refrafor 90mm, with the difference that the four largest moons of the planet would be visible to my eyes, even their shadows on the planet. |
 |
| Saturn's rings were clearly visible in this photograph, but no sign of the Cassini division, which was clearly visible when I was looking through the telescope with your own eyes |
 |
| The Moon seen through a 25mm eyepiece |
 |
| Here a view of a region of the moon at the time of the photo where the illuminated portion was mixed with the part about the shadows. It is usually where you can obtain the best images of lunar craters. |
 |
| Here a nice detail that shows the Apennines mounts, with the large crater Copernicus left. |
 |
| Here we can see the spectacular crater Tycho (right). Note that you can see that the impact of the meteor material spread across hundreds of miles. |
These pictures were taken with a telescope like the photo below, an achromatic refractor of 90mm of aperture and 910mm of focal length, fixed at an alt-azimuth mount.
With a 90mm achromatic refractor you can take better photos than those shown, for this you will need a different mount (tripod), a most appropriate camera and, of course, more practice. But I got very happy with the initial result.
A big hug
