Some Lunar with the C8.

[smerral]

I was really pleasantly surprised with the results of some lunar imaging I did last night as the seeing appeared variable.  Scope is the C8 and camera the Altair GPcam V2.  I also used a Baader  longpass 610 filter.  There are generally around 500/2000 frames stacked.  The wider field shots are at prime focus.  I added a 1.5x barlow for the close ups.

Wow, lovely close ups.

Well done smerral.

Really excellent images!

I'd be "over the moon" if I'd managed that level of detail.

Superb images, which remind me that I really must point my C14 at the Moon again. It's been quite a while since I even looked at the Moon with the C14, let alone captured any lunar images....

Those images are superb.. the C8 is a great scope for imaging close ups.
