Big Venus crescent 18-03-09

[Ant]

I'll post my main images later, but for a laugh I thought I'd add the 2" barlow into the equation.

So this image is DMK21 with the SKymax 180 which is F15, adding in the barlow increases the scale by about 1.5

So this image was taken at F22 or thereabouts.

980 frames (of 3000), 1/1250 sec, 60FPS. Not ideal seeing and the wrong time of the evening for steady seeing anyway...

I'll process my other (main) images later!

Hope you like this one?

Cheers

Very impressive. Looks like the DMK and Skymax are a good combo.

Very Nice Venus Ant. Very crisp.

My views were a bit "boiling" as planet was quite low over the houses at tea time.
