Moon, 19 March

Even more of a race against the clouds tonight. I'd seen the sky was unexpectedly clear late this afternoon and had the Mak out cooling early. As soon as darkness fell I rushed out and got cracking. As it happened I can't claim to have completely beaten it, but I didn't have to discard too many frames at least.

56 frames (of a total of 120 taken) of 1/1000th @ ISO800 from the 450D and 127 Mak, preprocessed in PIPP and stacked using Registax v6.

Very nice James. Pleased to say it's clear here at the moment...

Nice work James. I managed to have a go at the moon myself tonight, it makes a change to have clear skies even if not for long!

Cheers,

Chris

Very nice James! You have managed a lovely level of detail in the ejecta. I never tire of looking at your Moon shots.

And as we have total cloud cover once again I have plenty of opportunity to look at them!

Thank you too. It's been as grey as a grey thing here today. No chance of getting a Moon image tonight sadly. If the weather will play along I'm really going to put some effort into getting a few good crescent images over the next few months.
