La Silla’s Moon

As a part of my PhD studies I am currently on a two-week observing mission at La Silla, Chile. I am using the Danish 1.54 meter telescope to search for exoplanets with the microlensing method. The night sky here is simply amazing, and I have of course brought my camera and my tripod.

On my second night here (in the early morning after observering most of the night) I took a series of images of the Moon with my borrowed 28-200 mm zooming lens. It is upside down here, very funny. ;) Keeping the focal length at 200 mm I varied the exposure time, the ISO and the f-number. This is the best image, I think. It hasĀ an exposure time of 1/80 seconds, an ISO of 100 and an f-number of f/11.
