Waxing Gibbous Moon - Skymax 127

[bigal1]

Hi folks managed to get out for an hour tonight and conditions were not too bad for my area about 7/10 so thought i'd snap some pics of the Moon . I like the waxing gibbous phase as it shows nice shadow and definition on my favorite area the lunar alpes region and also a lot more features benefit from the angle of the light , personally i prefer this phase to any other for visual or imaging . Equipment used was a Skywatcher Skymax 127 mak scope and a Canon 1000D at prime focus mounted on a Cg-4 with tracking motors installed , final images is a stack of 43 seperate images processed with registax 6 and touched up in photoshop .
