The Second go at the Moon

[Sam]

Hello Everyone,

Here's my second attempt at the moon - this time with no cloud. The first one is 300/1000 frames and the second one is 250/1000. It was really boiling and probably way too early in the evening to expect a great result, but all the same it's quite nice to see some detail:

Camera: Labtec

OTA: Orion XT8

Mount: HEQ5

Sky: Cloudless

Thats a couple of cracking images! I have never got anything like that when I have tried.

Superb images both - very smooth too!

You've done a great capture with both of those LB. Boiling up or not, they are real sharp, and you should be [removed word] a hoop over them.

Well done indeed.

Brilliant captures, very smooth. I'd like to know just how small the smallest craterlet you've caught is there. Very impressive.

A couple of good 'uns there, you should be very happy.

smooth very nice.

Thanks for the comments - I was quite surprised how they turned out. It's quite neat when I move the first wavelet slider on Registax and the picture sharpens to reveal the detail.

Have you tried resizing them? I did and they look damn good at 200% too!. Well done.

Thanks for sharing,
