Got a break in the seeing last night

[Swoop1]

Last night gave me a break in the clouds so I grabbed a few frames of the moon. Both images single frames unprocessed (apart from rotating). Sony a6300 prime mounted on my Skywatcher 150P Newt. Both ISO 800. Close up 1/400 sec using X2 Barlow, the full image, 1/1000 sec.

My opportunities/ enthusiasm to get out and image the moon all seem to coincide with very similar phases in the moon.....

Nice work. Crisp images for just a single shot

Thanks Michael. I must say, I am quite pleased with the performance of the camera.

I thought that was only me - it's always between 65% and full moon! Nice shots
