Telescope (moon)
My dad acquired a telescope gratuitously from someone he knew, who had made adjustments to the mirrors that made the images unclear. Our neighbour George was kind enough to find manuals for a similar type telescope, and using the calibration instructions, we were able to calibrate the mirrors again. That night, we tried it out on the moon, and were glad to see it worked quite well! A normally $200+ priced telescope for free!
This would have to be the best shot I got using my digital camera stuck in the eyehole.
The camera has a hard time focusing on targets that are 384,400 km away, however in this shot you can sort of make out the crater edges that were much clearer to our eyes than the camera.
Another pretty good shot.
A not so great close up.
You truly could spend hours exploring all the different craters and edges and details of the moon…
