You've nailed those Charl. The Close ups are very sharp.

Terrific set Charl, close ups are marvellous. Had a look with naked eye and she looked imperious hanging up there in the South at about 21:30

Might be the best I have seen from you. That little frac, can certainly pull some detail out. The moon is quite low at the moment. Even better seeing could be had, if you could get the moon high up under high pressure. But you did well. Love the smoothness.

thanks Neil, yer the little ed works well , I'm very happy with it, ive even had fair shots of Saturn with it with a 4x barlow. as for getting the moon high , I do 90% of my imaging from a 2nd floor obsyroom when I'm not too well so have to do with the moon being low. thanks for the advice mate, clear skys charl.
