Skymax Moon

[David Smith]

Last night was my first attempt at imaging the Moon through my Skymax 127. Decided to go full-disk-in-one-shot using my Canon 1100D. It's a tight squeeze getting the full disk in the frame but it just about fits! This is actually a stack of the best 50 from 120 frames @ native 1500mm focal length. Raws converted to tif in PIPP, stacked in AS!3, sharpened in ImPPG and finished in GIMP2.10.

That's nice great result, getting that first shot practice in before Thursday.

Nice image, its always a struggle fitting the Moon in even with my 90mm job, have wondered if its possible to squeeze a tiny bit more FOV by moving the mirror back with min extensions or alternatively forward with 2 inches or so.
