6 Day Moon

[PaulG]

Had a great night last night with both the Helios 120mm refractor & the OMC140 Maksutov.

I'm not having a lot of success with the OMC at prime focus due to the long focal length forcing me to increase the ISO more than I would really like.

So here is a prime focus shot using the refractor & Nikon D70 combination.

This is over sharpened to make the craters "pop" out.

Hmmmm doesn't appear to be an image??

Thats nice Paul.

I quite like the craters "popping out". Thats pretty good mate, is that a single frame?

Cheers

Aha that's better, image now showing and what a beauty it is, lovely detail and exposure looks spot on to me. Great image.

Very nicely done Paul...

Luna and me ain't talking at the moment...

Lovely shot. Lots of contrast. Nice one

Glad you're having fun...

Hi Ant

This is a single frame.

People keep telling me to stack a series of single frames but haven't got round to it yet.

Tonight may be the night as I have never had so many clear consecutive nights to photograph the Moon since I started last year

Dark Night, Billy & Rawhead

Thanks for your comments, I'm chomping at the bit as I type to have another crack.

The last three nights have been cracking for us Moon squizzers.
