Thanks, Gianluca. This would have been around the time I first started thinking of taking the plunge and venturing into digital imaging. The C-830L was my Father-in-law's first digicam, handed on to us.
A wonderfully energetic image, Rob. There's something about it that reminds me of the roiling surface of our Sun.
I can also see numerous faces in it and the more one looks, the more one finds. I guess it's just my pareidolia (or was that paranoia🙄☺️) setting in.
Whilst gazing at the moon through my 'scope the other evening, in true happy snapper mode I thought I'd have a crack at capturing the view on my phone. Despite my fumbling I managed to get something just holding the phone to the eyepiece.
I wanted to see what scanning a 35mm frame in four separate 24mp sections and stitching them together would look like. My choice of film type to try wasn’t ideal, either (Kentmere 400). I pushed the magnification a little too far and didn’t leave enough overlap for photoshop to do it’s stuff, so...
