My first Lunar images

[assasincz]

Hi guys,

It has been a while since I last visited this forum and thought it is a great shame.

A while ago, I figured how to properly attach my Prestigio webcam to a telescope using spare part from Hyperion Zoom and got around to get myself some motor drive for my 4.5" newtonian on a EQ2 mount. With somehwat limited tracking capabilities, I was finally able to get down to some wannabe serious imaging, and my first stop was the Moon last night, although the seeing was terrible.

I just wanted to share my results with you, recieve some feedback and tips from you in the community.

Setup and imaging details:

114/900 on EQ2, basic motor drive (focusing was a nightmare)

Prestigio PWC2, most basic 2x Barlow

Registax, ACDSee 6 Pro

Range of resolutions/fps/exposures

So, what do you think?

Very nice lunar shots from your 4.5" scope - well done

Indeed. Some nice images there.

They are very good captures, well done! It's a nice feeling when things go right isn't it?
