Shot with Meade 90mm ETX Telescope (borrowed from a friend) attached to my Canon 40D. This was my first night sooting with the scoop. More difficult then I expected. It's very difficult to keep the whole setup perfectly still. The effective focal length is 1250mm with an effective aperture of 13.9. Shot in color as required, raw conversion, desaturated yellow in Aperture to remove chromatic artifact around the rim of the moon, crop, then USM.
I don't find the composition very interesting, but I'm pleased with this first attempt a shooting with a telescope.
