All images shot with the Tamron 150-600, single frames. Looks like I caught the end of an occultation in the last image.

Very nice, that sky is beautiful.

Thanks for the excellent talk and the LP filter recommendation @steppenwolf, and for the surprise bagpipes!!! Next time how about some ELP on the Moog?

that's a risk in publicly giving out meeting details that "unexpected/undesirable" input could ensue, might have been better to issue via PM/email to those who've registered an interest perhaps?

Undesirables can muted/kicked off easily on zoom Dave. I shouldn’t think it’ll be a problem. 

I've also shared with my friends at PAS.

Outstanding idea and thanks to Mr Richards for kicking off the inaugural event. Count me in. 

You know me, I love a colour Lunar image, and these are magnificent. Nice one Michael.

Lovely image. Well done mate, May the Fourth be with you.

Nice image given the conditions. The red filter probably saved the day.

Single frame, captured at 450mm handheld with the Tamron 150-600, plus a crop.

Lovely set of images John :)

True But at least I'll still have the 40mm option.

So that's settled then, you're going to leave off your PST mod for a while, that'll cause 25 & 26 to be the busiest on record, just in time for me to have saved up for a quark. Is that how it works? 🤪

Maybe I won't prioritise my 100mm PST conversion then...

James

Sod's law you'll not prioritise it and they'll be the busiest cycles on record

Thanks Charl.

Good seeing last night.

Close ups

That's a beauty

Amazing images Wouter. Now to spend 3 days having a proper look around

I finally had the opportunity to do some decent imaging last night. These are the full disc images, and some close ups with Barlow are cooking now.

Best 50 of 500 frames. Processed my usual way - Pipp>AS!3>IMPPG>Photoshop.

Worth clicking through for a look around at full scale methinks.

It looked gorgeous through the 8x40  bins just now, I grabbed a quick snap as well.

Pipp can do channels as part of alignment.

Makes you wonder why we can only see one side of the moon, maybe its flat !!!!!

I think you're on to something

I popped my head out the door at 8pm and it was lovely so I setup the Skymax which had already been out cooling.

2 minutes later, clouds.

During the next hour and a half I got precisely 1 usable image. I had a nice catch up with the neighbour though, and had a fascinating conversation with a nutter which was enlightening.

The gist of said conversation was 

The science they teach you in school is wrong. According to the school science the Moon and Sun should be opposite each other in the sky. I saw them both in the sky together earlier today, plus we shouldn't be able to see the Moon now because the Sun is down under Australia (45 mins after sunset!) therefore the earth must be flat. Also Covid-19 is a hoax. Oh, and chemtrails.

So there you go, we've all been doing it wrong

Anyway, the Moon, single frame, captured this evening.

Another winner from you there Wouter. Absolutely terrific.

Outstanding image, well done
