Guv'nor was putting on a new eyepiece. We also have a new stand with rollers and stabilizers. |
The telescope is an Orion SkyQuest XT10 Classic Dobsonian - for those interested. |
A Dobsonian is a large-aperature Newtonian reflector. |
Taken with my iPhone camera - 3:01 am CST |
Taken with my iPhone through the telescope eyepiece - 3:12 am. The image is reversed. |
Another photo taken through the eyepiece a few minutes later - 3:39 am. |
Taken the following morning at 6:45 am. |
Cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks. The photos were a test of patience trying to get the angle just right, being half asleep and freezing cold.
