My effort on the original file in post 1
Siril software.
Slight crop - background extraction (twice 🙂 ) - Archsinh curves - photometric colour calibration - saturation boost.
Quite a lot of signal in there, possible tilt and incorrect flattener spacing maybe and focus looks a tad off but nice image !

Not the only wat to do it by any means but Photoshop or GIMP works.

Sorry to disappoint, but this shot was definitely with a tripod! I began with 100 ASA film in a 35 mm camera many years ago.
🙂 Still a lovely image !

I love a good old handheld DSLR moon shot... Takes me back to where the imaging journey began 👍🏻

Heq5 - old, reliable, solid, easily fixed and tinkered with. GEM28 - modern, light weight, varying build quality, but nice if you get a good one.

Is this with the counterweight connected, sometimes the bar can be a bit loose and clunks as it changes direction ?

Very interesting Geoff!
I've just nabbed a 1.5 Barlow to try (if I ever get out again) on my zwo224 /C9.25 ... I usually use a 2x but as the seeing is always naff where I live, thought I'd give it a go.

Interesting stuff ! Don't forget that with a polemaster it has to be calibrated on first use and again if it's ever knocked or moved.
Possibly why differing results to sharpcap.
I'm using an ipolar now and it's usually very close to sharpcap result.

General wisdom says darks should match temperature of lights so with an uncooled camera might not be that effective.
But give it a go and process with and without to see what you think maybe.

Is everything screw fit ? don't know the redcat, but could the tilt be anywhere else ?

Fitting a ZWO EAF

The flexible coupling 'should' prevent any damage but It will surely put extra load on the EAF.
I'd be inclined to use washers as above.
