First moon in ages 5 November 14

Hardly had time to use my telescope since moving house but finally managed to get out for a very quick look up at the moon and about 20 minutes of trying to get a decent picture in between fireworks.

Here's my best effort from tonight.

Now that is really good, is it single frame or a stack, better than my near miss with the TAL

[rjc404]

Thanks, it was a single frame tweaked in a raw editor.

Another nice disc picture.

Well done Rob! Nicely focused. Dare not risk the OTA this week. Too many sticks, plastic cones and cardboard tubes falling out of the sky!

Thanks for the comments. I just try and get the best focus I can on Live view with x10 screen zoom and then shoot as many shots as I can when everything is looking least wobbly.

to say your using this long newt on an EQ3, you have done a superb job, do you link the cannon to your laptop or just live view on the camera?

I sort of fancy getting a long newt but have heard they hit the tripod legs

I just use live view on the camera. The scope can occasionally hit the tripod legs but careful use of the hand controller can avoid it.
