Moon with K-3 and 127mm telescope · **2 Likes**

managed to get a shot of the moon using a 127mm Meade refractor telescope running at f7.5, no filters

The K-3 was attached using a M42 adapter. I used a remote to avoid camera shake

many thanks everybody. I did get a bit more noise with the K-3 that I expected at ISO100 but will have a play with settings to see if I can improve

Turns out I had EX sharpness turned up 2 notches which resulted in a few 'jaggies' showing up in the image. Not too hard to process though.
