Photographer Comments:
Insignia 7.0 MP
"point & shoot" camera, full auto, afocal through
Takahashi FS-128 at 200X
November 1st, 2009, New River, AZ
Tyler Pettit, nephew of Dan Heim, visiting from Minnesota,
captured these images via afocal (through the eyepiece)
photography. Though the Moon was near Full, some good detail was
visible near the terminator, as well as crater Copernicus (top
right) with its prominent rays. No detail was captured on
Jupiter, but all four of the Galilean satellites are clearly
visible.
