I’ve been trying to get into astrophotography with what I’ve got. I need to get a real camera, but I’ve gotten a few good shots of Saturn and the moon simply by lining up my iPhone lens to the eyepiece. Waaaayyy more tedious and difficult than it sounds, but it’s what I’ve got to work with.
Great write up!
You and I have a VERY different interpretation of "a few hundred dollars".
Great article, though ... thank you. I have been wanting to take a nice picture of the moon forever, but mine always turn out shite.
ah yes, AI slop in a Lunar Photography guide
I wrote this after getting frustrated with overly technical moon photography guides that assume you need expensive setups. The Canon 60D I mention is actually from 2010 and still produces sharp lunar shots.
What's been your experience with budget gear vs expensive setups for lunar photography?
