Colour moon 10th June

[neil phillips]

For some reason i waited until the moon was only 26 degrees elevation hovering over a roof that was baking in the sun all day. 

Only so much you can do under conditions like that. But came out ok considering. Been a while since ive done some lunar.

Great capture Neil. The colour balance is really nice.

Yep very nice Neil you have certainly had your money's worth out of that scope.🙂

Good colour shot Neil.  To be honest I enjoy using the smaller scopes probably more than the larger ones I have. This aperture lark is very much a law of diminishing returns I think 😬😬

Im with you on that, my largest scope is the 5" Maksutov, but the 4" mak i used to own was better in a lot of ways
