iPad-captured Moon

- Neil Hartley, Burnley

I am new to astrophoto­graphy and have endured many cold nights trying to capture a photograph of the Moon I can be proud of. This afocal image was taken with my iPad mini, up to the eyepiece and with a steady hand. I have seen many Moon photograph­s showing Mare Crisium before, but I feel my time spent looking up to the heavens has finally been rewarded. The picture was taken with a Celestron AstroMaste­r 130EQ MD reflector, a 20mm Celestron eyepiece, a German equatorial mount and an Apple iPad Mini.
