Subject: Jupiter & moon(s) last night through Criterion RV-6 with Kodak point-n-shoot
I took these last night through a Criterion RV-6 (a 6" newtonian
reflector made in 1978) I just bought through A-mart (all shots are
single exposures through Kodak Easyshare Z730 point-n-shoot camera):

My best guess is close close to 9:30'ish (i.e. before 10 p.m.) as it
wasn't down in the mush yet and I recall that Venus was about to dip
out (and Starry Night Pro confirms that view for that time.)

Jason H,

They didn't pixellate on mine and they look quite sharp.
Thanks for the post.

About what were the times on your Moon pics? I'm trying
to adjust for the "crown" in M Serenetatis and the extreme
N Libration.
