At least a couple came out decently! This on was the best. The nearly full moon, (2 days before the January 21st lunar eclipse), on Kodak Gold 400ASA film. The camera was set at prime focus. The exposure was set by the cameras light meter. This one is completely untouched. I digitized it with an Epson FilmScan 200 at 1024x768 and reduced it for the web page.

Eyepiece projection with the standard Meade 26mm plössl. Slightly over-exposed. The brightness/contrast was editited in Photoshop, and an Unsharp Mask was applied... Heavily! (All my closeups look more like CCD shots!)

Something I have yet to have explained to me is why 2 shots of the moon, using exactly the same method, (as above), comes out in a different colour!

Same editing as above but using my Meade UWA 6.7mm plössl.

Another thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is the bright patch I get in some of my lunar images. When I took the picture I figured it being some sort of reflection on the Cameras mirror. I wasn't expecting to see it on film!

A rather featureless image of Tycho I had to spruce up with some heavy Unsharp Masking. (Help! I'm an Unsharp Mask junkie!)
