Moon 01/02/18

My first pic with my new setup.

Explore Scientific ED80 APO Triplet

Skywatcher NEQ6
Canon 600d

6 images aligned and stacked in Registax 6.
Processed and cropped n GIMP.

I'm quite happy with it but would be better with a 2x Barlow and not cropped.

 Nice work. Well done!

Not bad at all. Your new setup shows promis.

Cheers guys. I don't plan on doing too much Lunar imagery. More DSO but this was the first night out with it. Struggled with polar alignment and getting the mount to go to the right place so I decided to image the moon. The issues have mostly been sorted since. Looking forward to clear skies

Absolutely the right policy. When having problems, do something "simple" until you have killed the gremlins.

I like the contrast in this image and I must admit I do love my 80 triplet. Time to save up a little cash and purchase a nice barlow. I've still got my Tal x2 barlow and wouldn't part with it
