Moon Images

This page will continue to grow when more images become available. Most taken with a 10 inch F-12 refractor telescope and a Nikon 990 single shot camera. No stacking!!

Vast improvements in imaging have occured in recent times due to web cameras, which can record a short "movie" of the moon or a planet. Then hundreds of individual frames of this movie can be stacked one upon the other, taking advantage of fleeting seconds of good seeing and computer enhancements. Some pictures are as easy as simply hand holding a digital camera to the eyepiece of the telescope and "snapping" the picture. (That is pretty much what was done with the first image shown here.)

Of course steady air and a vibration free set-up is a must for the very best images.
