Strange things: Lunar Imaging By De Marco Fedele (continuously updated)

[Fedele]

I'll give it a try. I don't know if that could be an idea. I decided to create a single thread in this section. I am very productive and I observe and imaging in any moment i can.
I would therefore like to avoid lengthening the section with many of my individual posts.
Consider that I have started to imaging for about 1 year (never done before) and therefore a single post helps not only the forum to stay clean but you can see learning progress etc.
If I find that posts are no longer followed in this way, I'll go back to traditional posting.

 

This is my Mewlon 180c this evening, out of collimation  (yes I don't know how to collimate !! i don t have the calm to do this), with a high Moon at Zenith and quite good seeing.

Nice shots - my eyes are not good enough to tell if its out of collimation based on the first 2 (there doesn't seem to be anything much wrong with them!) - the 3rd does seems a tad soft on the RHS if that's the collimation error (I'm not a reflector person so I have no idea).

Good idea too re the single thread - a nice way of seeing progress (I'm testing something similar on twitter for full disk solar images).

I like to stack...but i prefer simple videos. I like to stack with eyes

I think the single thread is a great idea. I'm not an imager and don't intend to ever do more than hold a smartphone to the eyepiece but I'm very interested in all things Tak

So I'm not an expert, I know nothing about collimation, but those images look excellent to me! Keep posting!

I like Lunar images and would be quite pleased with all of these.👍

A C11 is a good size for lunar imaging. 

[Simon128D]

The C11 is my main weapon of choice for lunar and planetary imaging but I do crave a low FL APO for some lunar work too. 
I had the pleasure of borrowing a TMB 115 APO for a few months and the results I got on the moon were nothing short of incredible.

I prefer Mewlon 180c over every Scope for Lunar Imaging. I mewlon 250  would be the top

Certainly could not miss a C8

And certainly not even a Mak 127 could be missing in these two days
