That is a cracker Phil. The Moon has had a good peppering tonight. Every lunar post I've seen tonight has been a belter.

Lovely! I was following those two bright spots in the shadows the other day. Good shot of the Alpine Valley. What did you do with the camera focus, exposure time and aperture?

What did you do with the camera focus, exposure time and aperture?

On that one, the camera was set to full optical and digital zoom through the 40mm eyepiece

and 2x barlow.

Exposure time was 1/15th second F2.8 ISO50 with focus set to infinity.

The extra "reach" given by the digital zoom does add noise but I suppose a half dozen or so frames

stacked would sort that out (will try that next time)
