Nice photos, Charl! It was a beauty last night. Had the C9.25 out for only the third time since I got it ages and ages ago and have some new visual filters I was playing with - looked amazing through the light blue one, the crispness of the image is wonderful, really need to take some time to get to know Mr Moon some more!

thanks Marky, I couldn't agree more mate, we had a bit of hazy here or it could of been a bit of thin cloud but it added to the atmos. I would love to view it through a C9.25 bet its amazing, I used to use a LX10 years ago and the views I got with that was amazing but it was only on lone and had to go back. clear skys mate, charl.

Yeah it is an amazing scope. Just a bit more of a beast to tame trying to image the moon/planets....a bit less forgiving than my ED80! :-)

[xtreemchaos]

yes marky with all that extra mag brings more problems but when you win it makes it all the better mate, the ed80 is a very easy scope to use ive even had half decent shots of Saturn with the x4 barlow. hope you have clear , charl.

Slow and steady....just need to learn to be more patient.... :-)

that's the way to go mate, I must confess ive been checking out some of the C range, I do like Celestron kit, I have a set of there 25x100 binos and a small 6 inch newt modded to a astrograph eg flashy focuser, flocked, blackend mirror backs and are thinking of adding baffles, but like the way there put together and well built. hope you have some clear, 100% cloud here today and chucking it down with rain. charl.

Beautiful shots, charl. I always look forward to your lunar images. I got a few shots and some short video of my own; it's a monthly tradition, lol.
