The camera was on manual. I took a few shots to determine correct exposure. The focus was also manual as I was using my telescope.

The camera itself sits on the back of the scope via an adapter. This makes the scope the "lens". The adapter can have eyepieces inserted into it to give different levels of magnification.

Thanks, yes.
I'm using a 4 inch, 1meter refractor.

I got out early evening seeing as the moon was so bright.The sky was actually blue in all of the shots, but exposing for the moon under exposed the sky, so it appears black.
None of the shots are cropped, but there is some PP to bring out contrast. The different "zooms" are as a result of using different eyepieces. Number one is without an eyepiece.

C&C welcome.

The rainbow's colours aren't obvious, at least on my monitor.
Maybe a shorter exposure would have brought them out better?

Dangermouse, help me out here!

It is a genre, more than a fashion, based around Victorian science fiction. 20 000 leagues under the sea, The Time Machine, etc.
I suppose it is looking to the future, but with technology based on what the Victorians had.
It is called a sub-genre of Goth and dismissively labelled as When Goths discovered brown

I think that sort of describes it, very briefly.

I think we can excuse the camera shake. My hands would have been shaking too

Tell you what.
When I've learnt how to get the best out of it, I'll write that tutorial

These, I think, are Cyberpunk...but could be wrong.
All of these images are very tempting. Nearly bought a top hat on ebay last night, but Mrs Ted has a sharp tongue, so I decided against it

I forgot to add. I particularly like David's second offering.

Wish I could have been there

'Tis steampunk
And possibly members of another forum I pop onto. I know they were arranging a meet there.
