The Moon with my old digicam


OK, not a planet this time, but our beautiful Moon. It was the first time I tried the raw option for the Moon with my old Canon S80 digital camera (with the CHDK firmware update). The camera was handheld over the eyepiece. By lucky coincidence the camera's objective fits snugly into the 26 mm Meade eyepiece "barrel", so it is quite easy to hold the camera stable. Without the raw shooting mode I get lots of color fringing and softness at the edges of the Moon (from the eyepiece), but this can all be corrected during the raw "development". Not bad for a 12 year old camera. Shot from my terrace on Feb 8, 2017 (probably).
