 Astrophotography - Some Moon Images

The Moon

This section is about my "visual" interest in the moon ...


Images of the moon

The first images I made of the moon by holding a 6*9cm box-camera behind my 8*40 binoculars ...

But here is a number of images I made throughout the recent years.

The images here are in "stamp" size. By selecting the image you will get a higher resolution at 400*600.
