[SnakeyJ]

Well done Chris, that is very nice indeed for this camera and scope combo :-)

[Vox45]

Very nice Good job !

Could you tell more on how you achieved that so we can learn from you experience : ) was this prime focus or afocal, a barlow maybe ?

Cheers

Amazing first pic, I'd be interested to know how it was done too.

Take a bow sir!

Hi Chris, I'm glad I sold you this camera as you have done a cracking job! 

And you are standing 2 feet away from me as I type this

[chris_suffolk]

Thanks all, much appreciated

Was 1500 shot AVI video at 10 FPS, with 5x Barlow (that you also sold me Chris!) via SharpCap, then post processed with PIPP, AS!2 and PhotoShop CS6. Little over done on the smoothing, but was quite pleased with it. Focusing via the PC screen was a nightmare

lol I'd forgot about the Barlow

[chris_suffolk]

Lol - thanks

It just goes to show that with the advancement in technology, imaging with a small aperture scope, can produce rewarding results like this. Excellent result, well done

Not bad for a first image, well done. Some RGB alignment issues though that R6 could help to iron out.

Still trying to learn all the workflow for PS etc - may have another go from AVI files up at some point now I know a little more
