Here is a shot done with my 200mm modded newt last night.

Very nice. Loads of detail. What camera did you use?

Hey Michael, it was done on the Skyris 445 mono. Lrgb, 1000 frames each.

That's a fantastic image, very sharp. How's your scope modded?

[oldfruit]

Very good image, nice and sharp and a lot of detail. Nice capture.

Yeah that's lovely!     It's great to get this close in to the moon, you see just how many hundreds of thousands of craters there are, and it gives you a better idea of just how big some of the rocks that caused those larger craters must have been! 

[Luke]

Wowsers, that's rather spectacular!

[Stargazer33]

That looks amazingly sharp even on my phones screen. Superb!

Once again, extraordinary ,  a beauty.

Hey Sam. I put in low profile Antares focuser, have an upgraded secondary, flocked the tube and added some Bob knobs collimation bolts. Oh, and upgraded the primary springs.

This was a U.S. Orion 200mm newt originally. I may also have the mirror refigured. Doing Suiters star testing, it seems to be between 1/4 and 1/6 wave primary.

Wow that's a significant amount of work. A low profile focuser would have been a good move for the forward focus.
