1st Moon Shot with new C80ED

[JDWolf]

Just before Christmas i sold my 8" Newt OTA and bought a C80ED. Been very pleased with the views it has been giving me and to be fair are just as good as 8" Newt. It might actually be a little better on the moon....

Anyway last night i finally got round to taking some pics of the moon using the C80ED. This is only the second time done any imagining on the moon, but still quite pleased with the results.

Very nice...Lot's of detail there....

Just bring the exposure down a stop or a wee tweak in Photoshop or Gimp and it's perfect.

Very nice Jon, I'm guessing afocal with that Fuji ?

[JDWolf]

Yep its an afocal with my fuji. Need to have a few more plays to try and get the manual focusing sorted out and get a bit more of an understanding of all the manual controls.

Unfortuantly i dont really have any processing package on my computer.

[jgs001]

Jon, GIMP is free and will do pretty much everything.

[JDWolf]

You got a like from where i can down load it from? Dont want to type GIMP into google on my works computer.......

What do you think?

Much better, it has brought out the detail in the Mare regions.

sorry for hijacking your thread, but any reason why i can't see any images? a couple of threads have been like this, can't understand why.

Hi Tony,

A few threads seem to have lost images when the Forum "software" changed over last weekend..
