Tonights Moon Skymax 127

[bigal1]

Hi folks thought i'd post this image of the Moon i got from tonights session , conditions were not too bad early on when i got this image but they went down hill later on . Equipment used was a Skywatcher Skymax 127 mak scope and a Cannon 1000D at prime focus mounted on a CG-4 mount with motors , finished result was a stack of 24 seperate images then tweaked in Photoshop .

Hi Ben i used registax 6 to do the stacking , let the program decide the align points and ended up with over 700 .

Wow, can I Ask, how is the mount with just motors ? Easy to track ?

The mount tracks great even better since i've fine tuned the polar scope alignment , managed to get 45 mins solid tracking on Mars the other night without it moving off the laptop screen think thats my best to date but yeh its very good once setup properly .

I'm new to this and like the skymax 127 and eq3-2 with motors.

Instead of a nexstar 4se !

Cheers
