These two images of the conjunction of the Moon and Venus on the 16th May 2010 were taken by Keith Plamping using a Panasonic DMC-TZ6 camera on a mini-tripod from a bedroom window. As he comments - "You don't need high-tech to have fun with astrophotography!" Image Credit: Keith Plamping. |

Chris Newsome took this picture of the 2.6 day old Moon on the 21st March 2007. It was taken with a Canon EOS 300D camera through a Celestron C8-NGT telescope. It is comprised of 8 frames ranging in exposure length from 1/250th second through to 6 seconds (at 100ASA). Each image was manually stacked and processed (opacity) in CS2 and then flattened before applying a slight unsharp mask. The range of exposures was used so as to try and retain as much detail in the sunlit side whilst bringing out the earthshine. Image Credit: Chris Newsome.
