Re: mars and the gemini twins
What type of camera did you use?
Maybe i'll start taking pix myself. They look good but even a digital takes fuzzy pix when on zoom i noticed. I am thinking on taking pix of the moon when the skies clear up LOL. I need a tripod though LOL. |

Re: mars and the gemini twins
hello shadowstalker
i'm using a cannon power shot.12 megapix,12 times zoom.a tripod is a must,lol on the mars pic,i tweaked the colour saturation.it was a bit cloudy last night. a funny thing with the camera is it can navigate through clouds sometimes. just have to adjust the contrast and brightness.iso settings are important also. on a really clear night the detail that the camera picks up is amazing.here is plaidies about a month ago.you dont see all the stars with the eye,but the camera sees them all,lol.its pretty acurate with the colours also. http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=Pq1MZRcA peace...kent |

Re: mars and the gemini twins
Thanks fossileyed, I've been wanting to do this myself for a while now, but one needs the right gear, I desperately need to get a telescope! - its heavily ironic since I have a passion for stargazing.
Cheers, |

Re: mars and the gemini twins
hello majorion
telescope is definatly on the list,lol.i have a freind that has one,or so he says,lol.he can hook a camera up to it but he says its buried in his house somewhere.i hope for a test run before i put any money out.thinking about building one cause you get more bang for the buck if you do it right.how hard could it be,lol. i might get lost in the stars with a telescope,already almost there,lol the first week i started taking pics at night,i caught ufos,stars,planets,satelites,shooting stars,planes.some really cool moon shots theres a few moon and star pics in here.a couple of more albums also http://www.projectavalon.net/forum/a...hp?albumid=558 peace...kent |

Re: mars and the gemini twins
The Moon is definitely the best to photograph.
I wouldn't really care missing a fuzzy orange spot like Mars, just so long I get some good Moon shots! |
