Lunar Tonight

[Alkaid]

Had a decent outing tonight, managed visual of a couple of things I have struggled to see previously with poor seeing.......saw Timocharis central crater, plus craterlet 'A' in Plato.  Great session, followed by a shot through DSLR at prime focus.  OTA was TAL100RS.

Nice one. I was out there with you; seeing was slightly less steady than last night, but still very much worth it.

Overall I am pleased with the sharpness of the image, but do you think over-exposed?  I had DSLR on auto settings....

Pleased with this achromat though - I can't really see any CA (very slight touch of blue at top right of image), but hardly noticeable do you think?

Hadn't noticed. Only if I zoom in to the pixel level can I see a bit. I am no imager, but that's a great shot.

That's a very nice image Alkaid. I took the liberty of having a little tweak on my phone. The exposure is actually good, the whites are not over exposed and it looks very sharp. CA is well controlled too.

Stu, that's superb.  Thanks!  I'm liking the lunar imaging challenge, it's great fun.   Just need a decent barlow or telextender to really bring up the power a bit now.
