This was taken with 3x barlow. Wobbly seeing not the best for this fl but the first highish mag lunar image I've tried with the QHY cam :

Nothing wrong with that.I was out last night

with the scope ,but i just could not get it to play

ball.Forgot about daylight savings .It really looked

good last night,as does your picture.That wind.

Roll on Saturday,weather looks good.

Cheers guys! Forgot to mention this was taken at full 1280x960 resolution with IR 742 pass filter. When seeing is good I would like to produce a full mosaic at this fl which has proven impossible using my 640x480 DFK as the Dob tracking is not reliable enough for such a small resolution.

That's, a cracker mate. Any Idea as to what scale we're looking at here?

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Very nice. Lots of detail there

[sologuitarist61]

Very nice Stuart, i would love to see the mosaic at this high resolution.

Thanks again guys. The scale is equivalent to about f25 with my DFK the QHY cmos sensor producing an image around 25% larger.

After viewing the image on a full size screen I realise there is a lot of noise so here is a smoother repro :
