Luna from North Cornwall 21-4-21

My lunar image from last night here in North Cornwall, Skymax 127, Canon 600D, best stacked image of 25 subs, using Pipp, As3, registax and photoshop, it was a really windy imaging session

Nicely done! The 1500mm focal distance of the 127 Mak is perfect to fit the whole of the Moon or Solar disc onto an APS-C sensor.

Nice image. Wind and cloud cut my imaging session short after just one imaging run. Can't really complain as we have had a good run of clear nights, but it is a shame as Copernicus seemed to be really well lit right on the terminator.

Thank you Nick. Yes it's the perfect fit for my dslr, I'm thinking of using it in video capture mode for the partial in June, I did think about using my 72ed with zwo asi120mc-s but it crops a lot out of the view and the Skymax 127 and dslr seem the best option for this event.

Thank you Roy. That wind was sure playing havoc with imaging the Luna yesterday evening also. I did try my zwo asi120mc-s in the scope, it was quite buffeting at this set up and with a x2 Barlow jumping around more than the British trampoline squad. Do the dslr gave the best none shake imaging there was. Like you say shame as copernicus was looking great and I really wanted to image Hadley Rille and Frau Maro closer, next time.
