Today marks the 40th anniversary of the first landing on the moon. To commemorate this remarkable event, I thought I'd post one of the photos I took of the moon.
I was trying out our then new telescope, Meade ETX-125PE, and attached my Nikon D40x camera to it to take this picture.
The telescope is of the Maksutov-Cassegrain type with a 127mm (5.0") aperture, f/15 focal ratio, and a 1900mm focal length. I had to use the 1.25" Meade Basic Camera Adapter to attach the Nikon. Overall, I think the picture turned out pretty good.
