| Jupiter and the Moon 17/04/16 |
I was feeling the cold tonight, so I decided to light the fire and grab myself some dandelion coffee.
Observing Luna would have to wait another night.
Though I didn't entirely abandon the Moon.
Before packing away the telescope I captured a few images of beautiful gibbous Selene.

The above image is a bit blurred at the edges, this is due to the method of photo capture that I use. namely afocal photography.

Afocal photography is a brilliant way of capturing astro images, all you have to do is simply place the camera lens over the eyepiece of the telescope.
Though sometimes it can be a bit hit and miss. Tonight's lunar image was a bit miss around the lunar limb.
Blame it on camera shake from cold hands.

As I was packing away the telescope ominous dark clouds to the west were gathering and slowly rolling in for the night.
Maybe sitting by the warming fire isn't such a bad idea.
Warm fingers crossed for more clear skies in the week ahead.
