1st light with baby Mak

[Alien 13]

This is my 1st shot with the C90 Mak and DSLR I am quite pleased and looking foward to some more clear nights.

The image is a single shot at 1/100 second with an ISO of 200.

That is very clear, super single image.

These c90 are f10? you fitted the Moon in on one image.

great single shot Alan, great scope.thanks for posting charl.

[Alien 13]

The C90 has a FL of 1250mm and a F ratio of 13.89, the moon fits nicely on the DSLR sensor but is marginaly too big in video mode.

Okay, where shall i start,

VERY sharp image, focus is as nailed as you are going to get......love the colour tones very natural all from a single frame and a tiny Mak 

This in its self is a lovely image, but when looking at the scope used it makes it so much better, just shows you dont have to spend a huge amount on a scope to image our lovely Luna

Very nice lunar image. Well done.

[Astro Imp]

That is fantastic, can't believe you achieved that with the equipment you have and a single shot to boot. Well done.

Thanks for the replies everyone, the scope is the Celestron version of the 90mm mak and I am amazed at the build quality of the thing its also quite a bit bigger than I imagined but so portable for grab and go and seems ideal for lunar although I will be pushing it to its limits soon when I target the planets.

If you can do that with the moon, then looking forward to the planets. Great stuff.
