What eyepiece do you use ? Is this a single shot or a stacked AVI ?

4mm eyepiece + 2x barlow. Yes single shot.

[Cornelius Varley]

Theres your problem. 4mm + 2x barlow = too much.

Ok thank you. Next time i will make panoramic view.

I played a bit with photoshop but image still looks bad

[Zul]

I forgot to tell that i did this picture when the sky was not dark yet it was blue

use a 20mm or other low power eyepiece. dont use a barlow.

this will give you a crisp image which you can zoom into and frame later if that is what you wanted.

This time i just wanted to take a picture on maximum magnification But next time i will do picture with 20mm for paronamic view.

I have a similar scope to you and the max magnification you can use usefully is your 4mm on it's own... and under good conditions.

Get a 6mm and 8mm (or 12mm & 16mm and use barlow) and these will show very close, very detailed views which you will be able to image clearly and still zoom in afterwards.

best is to use 20mm or bigger and then take a nice shot of the whole moon and you will be able to zoom in further than your original shot and still see good detail.

I am hoping this will work for Jupiter too. Jupiter is my next target after enjoying the moon a few more times.

You see when i use 4mm with 2x barlow i see the details of the moon clearly but when i do pictures then nothing good.

[kenmyers]

I have the same size scope as you and also I bought an F/7.8 114mm fl900mm.

same size mirror as your scope but some reason gives much better and clearer views for the same mirror size.

As i said when i was watching it was clear view but pictures wasn't
