Nice Moon image Neil. I was out there last night and it was certainly windy. I tried Jup and Mars, but could barely get the image to stay within the ROI, let alone see a good focus positon, so I gave up. I did grab a single run of Mars just to have something in the can, so I'll take a look at that later. I didn't even consider trying the Moon....🙄

Cheers Geof its not easy getting lots of fine lunar detail when the image is constantly shaking. I kept pausing which helped a little. Was going to try Mars but being small with a 7.3 " scope thought the wind would make quality a bit iffy. so didn't bother. Your bigger system in a obs will likely fair better. So will look out for any process. if you do it.

Good stuff, like the dramatic shadows of the region.

Cheers its good to get some high elevation moon. Wind possibly stopping the best results at this size scope. But not by much
