There is a repeating theme this week – clear and calm temperatures, for the most part, minus one day. Tonight again was no different and the Moon is now almost at its first quarter. All of my astrophotography equipment was identical to last night’s. The only change, again, was the exposure setting I used in NightCap, which is rapidly going down. Last night I used 1/350 second, tonight was 1/700 second. If I can take the quarter Moon photo tomorrow night, under the near-same conditions, I am sure the exposure will be at 1/1200 second or perhaps much lower.

Equipment Used:

  • 127mm Mak-Cass telescope
  • 23mm eyepiece
  • No eyepiece filter
  • iPhone 14 Pro
  • Smartphone telescope eyepiece adapter
  • NightCap app on iPhone
  • f/1.8
  • 1/700 sec exposure
  • ISO 57
  • Focal length: 7mm
  • Touchups in PaintShop Pro and AfterShot Pro

Thank you for taking the time to read my article.

I have been fascinated by space since childhood. My interest in technology also runs deep, rooted in fond memories of the CRT-anchored desktops my father tinkered with in the early 1980s. Professionally, I have spent over 30 years immersed in the technology sector, serving in capacities ranging from programming and IT to project management. Outside of work, my passions lie in astrophotography, astronomy, and philosophy. At my blog, I explore these interests, and I hope you will join the conversation.
