Here's the waning gibbous moon from tonight. Taken at prime focus with 6 inch dob, 1/800 sec, ISO 100. 15 shots stacked in Registax 6 and processed in GIMP.

I like it!

What does prime focus mean please? ta

Not bad Joey... what does a single frame look like ?? Sorry to say it, but it seems a bit soft to me... and I wonder if the stack needs some more tweaking...

Prime focus means you are using a telescope directly attached to the camera, so the scope becomes a huge telephoto lens.

Ah ha! Gotcha thanks. Thats my next attempt then (when you all stop buying things) ;P
