There is a Yahoo Group for this topic called Quick Cam and Unconventional Imaging Astronomy Group. I am leaving town until next Wednesday but would be glad to talk to you about this stuff when I get back. |
That is awesome! I've always wanted to get a good telescope to check out the moon in more detail. I went to the Griffith Observatory on a night with a full moon and they had their telescope following it. It was incredible! I felt I was just a few hundred feet off the ground of the Moon!
