Nice images mcut did you shoot these with a compact camera the reason i ask i see some CA creeping in that i am sure is a product of the camera lens.

The details on UKA have them as from a Panasonic Lumix DMC LX3 - good looking camera 8)

sorry for delay, yes they are taken with Panasonic LX3 handheld. i found it difficult to get the focus i wanted and i am assuming it is because i was holding the camera over an eyepiece. i had to set the camera for longest focal length (60mm) and have the focus either manually set or on macro focus.

i would assume that i would have better focus if i could simply drop the front of the camera lens down into the eyepiece holder as in my mind i was thinking that i am trying to focus on an already focussed image and setting the camera on macro meant that any slight movements would immediately move me out of focus completely. does any of the above actually make sense
