HI all

Here are my latest two shots of the Moon. As before, taken with a Mono Toucam Pro II through my trusty 8" LX200 Classic.

Great shots Michael, very good focus.

A winning combination then Michael. The Classic and the Toucam have done a superb job here.

Of corse we give you some credit too. :laughing2:

Those are seriously good images.

Ron. :salute:

Excellent moon images Michael. As Ron says good focus.

I notice you use an IR pass filter with the mono Toucam - it looks to make a significant difference compared to the more usual IR block filter. Does it?

Wonderfully detailed structure on both images, Michael. There's another valley on your Vallis Inghirami image, too. Vallis Baade, west of Inghirami Q. Beautiful job!

I've tried with and without and I think on balance, it does. The only disadvantages is a slight increase in gain. However, the gain is usually set so low for lunar targets, that I don't find this much of an issue.

Awesome shots!

Thanks for the info. Michael. Yes - the mono Toucam is sensitive and doesn't need much gain does it?
