Managed to get a quick single frame shot with 120 and 1000D, iso 200 1/80 speed, tiny bit of wavelets saved as .png

Cracking single frame Jules, glad the 120 is being put to work at last.

Of course it did I was working today, and am again tomorrow (the price I'm paying for a week's leave next week, here's hoping for lots of clear). Left the office at 8pm and was most surprised to see near perfect and clear skies with the moon beckoning, I've never got home so fast in my life, kettle was on and scope set up in 5 mins flat. Coffee brewed while she cooled and no more than half an hour after leaving work I was capturing data. Happy days, get it while you can mate because that's what it's all about..

Who needs stacking when single frames look this sharp  

[Sierra Golf Mike]

What a cracking image for a single shot, beautifully sharp, lovely contrast and loads of detail. Not had time to process this evening's efforts yet!

Thanks guys, i think next time using this outfit i might try a x1.5 barlow, see if i can up the image scale a tad

[Trevor N]

Nice shot. Very clear and well exposed. Always difficult at this phase. Trevor

Greatwork Jules.. a single frame too.. loads of detail at that scale..  I can recommend the baader q barlow, excellent bit of kit..

[nightfisher]

Fozzie, i tried a Q barlow some years ago and did not really like it, i have a 1.5 barlow head that i will try
