they are looking good my friend, I would say that there is an improvement specially to the very edge of the moon, could be due to the better tracking/motors on the HEQ5, anyways you'll love it.

Nice work Charl and hope you enjoy the new toy.

BTW I set up for some Luna visual last night and was just getting the EP in focus and the rain came, absolutely tipped down. Fortunately I'd set up just inside my garage to avoid the worst of the wind so no harm done.

thanks Alan, yer it pourdown just after taking the last moon shots, all i had to do is close the window to keep the scope dry. clear skys charl.

Cracking shots there Charl!

It's been a good couple of nights for viewing and imaging the moon, was out there tonight giving it another go and having a good look. Heaps of luna detail and areas to be captured.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Dave, where having horrid weather here in the uk, its total cloud cover here tonight. goodluck with your moon imaging. clear skys  charl.

It hasn't been much better here Charl. Smoke, cloud, rain, wind but tonight I had a win for a change
