ITAP of the sun peaking out from behind the moon 🌑☀️ Fun fact, the diffraction (light spikes) you see there are the result of sunlight passing through craters on the moon’s surface, since they’re slightly recessed from the perimeter of the moon 🤯 /nature is wild ✨

nature is indeed wild qq if u don’t mind, is there a good starter telescope u recommend that i could hook up to my fujifilm x-t50? i’m interested in trying to shoot the moon and potentially other parts of space if possible, but have no clue where to start

Ooh that’s awesome to hear! You totally should, it’s amazing when you start looking up at night for so long ✨ First q: do you want a telescope? Or a telephoto lens? Telescope is basically dedicated to night sky, much heavier, harder to travel with. Telephoto lenses are good for other things too, especially wildlife. I actually have a guide on how to shoot the moon! https://wanderloots.com/how-to-shoot-a-supermoon/ This is different than the high res imaging of telescopes though, more Timelapse at the horizon

I would ask @cosmosastroart @astromarkc or @briantoups for advice on telescopes 👀 But if you’re ever interested in wildlife (eg going to Africa for safaris) might be worth getting a telephoto either way. Really expands your photography How are you liking the Fuji?

Hey Erik I own a Fuji XT2 and all my moon stuff and some of my first ever deepsky work was captured using my Fuji camera and a SW 72 Ed telescope. You will most likely need a m48 adapter ring. Best thing to do is to contact your closest astrophotography equipment dealership. For me it was first light optics. And they will be able to help you with all the details of which scope to pair with your camera sensor and which adapters etc. it all comes down to your budget :)

i love the fuji! i still gotta work on shooting more on custom instead of auto, but always amazed by the level of detail it brings out - i’ll def check out the telephoto!
