Moon Shots


The photo above was taken from my front yard last summer using my telescope and digital camera. The photo consists of 3 separate shots of the Moon which I have combined here to save space. ... no pun intended ... If you will click on the photo, which will enlarge it, you can see the craters better. The bright points you see are mountain tops reflecting light. Though I do not have the proper camera mount for my telescope, I made one from the cardboard tube of a used up paper towel roll. The quality is not as good as I would have liked, but after all, I was standing approx. 238,857 miles away.
To those friends who know I play golf, this is not photos of old golf balls. Although I do have some golf balls that are scraped and scarred such as the moon, this is the real deal.
