Equipment

Canon 5DII, 400mm lens, tripod.

Description

On March 26 the Moon was in conjunction with Venus. Due to the Moon parallax the moon was even closer when seen from the south hemisphere. From my location in Buenos Aires, Argentina the separation was just less than 1 degree, a great sight with the naked eye and a very nice portrait for a photo.

Equipment

Maksutov Cassegrain 5'' scope. Canon DSLR 550D in 640x480 video crop mode 60fps. Stacked with Autostakkert2

Description

Following the article about planetary imaging with a DSLR I tried to see what can be done with a real small scope (5'') and a DSLR. A very portable setup. I was surprised with the nice result I got, the 5'' scope works nice and the 640x480 crop video mode provides extra maginification, low noise and very nice resolution. Hope you like it!
