Some lunar shots

[Sam]

It was a bit of a steep learning curve to re-remember how to do moon imaging so these shots are a bit ordinary, though today I have fixed my motor focuser so hopefully it's clear tonight so I can shoot some more.

The first one is Archimedes

This one is Albategnius

and these three are Walther, Regiomontanus and Purbach

They were all shot with a Philips SPC900NC through a Skywatcher 250px on an EQ6.

Not bad at all. I am hoping to get my first lunar shots in AGES Saturday (clear skies predicted, fingers crossed). I'll probably make all sorts of old mistakes again.

Yeah the focus is pretty rough. I found the reason yesterday when I was fixing the motor focuser. The collimation was pretty bad, so I gave that a bit of a tweak and eagerly awaited night to fall which coincided with a layer of cloud sailing in. Well the forecast is good for tonight so hopefully I'll get some better images tonight.
