This image shows a waxing gibbous moon at 91% of full, taken at about 2000h on 25 February 2010. This is the first astrophotograph that I have taken with my Celestron CGEM 800 telescope (ever!), using a Canon EOS Rebel T1i 15.1 MPixel camera. I used the "Prime Focus" technique, where the camera is coupled directly to the telescope using a T-Ring for Canon AF plus the Celestron T-Adaptor-SC #93633-A. This is a mosaic constructed from two images, each taken at ISO 100 at 1/200s on the Manual monochrome setting. I used the Hugin software package to stitch and blend the images using 9 manually entered correspondence points.
