Gary70 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yea I thought I'd see what I could get out of Venus, same happened.On the plus side the Moon does look stunning through a set of 10 x 50 bins with the wisps of thin cloud moving across it.

JamesF Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Beautifully clear here and I shall be outdoors shortly. My goal for tonight was to get some comparisons done of the SPC900 and Lifecam Cinema for planetary imaging and I was worried that on the first clear night for centuries the moon was going to wash them both out, but it looks like I might just have got away with it...James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
