Cracking set Charl, tried this myself but with the reflector I get reflections of the secondary/spider on the image so I'll continue to enjoy your mastery of the form!

thanks John, your so kind. ive shot daytime ones with my 200p, just use the porthole in your cap it reduces the aperture but you dont need the aperture with the moon. clear skys. charl.

I'm an idiot, thanks Charl.

Hi Charl, glad to see you are bagging the moon as well as the sun  I've started using the Proplanet 742 filter, which only passes light from the IR end of the spectrum. It's fantastic for daytime lunar imaging, turning a blue sky to a dark grey, though you need a decent aperture to cope with the loss of light, I'd say 8" +

thanks Iain, i have a ir filter mate, i dont use it with day shots as it makes them drab looking, you see for me a daytime moon should look like what you see when looking up, nice and blue just with more detail than just looking with your eyes, you see we see it in colour and to lose the colour or make it a drab gray just dont seam right to me mate, that why i allways do a mono just for the guys who dont like the blue. thanks for the advice mate. charl.
