2009 Lunar/Solar imaging showcase

[MartinB]

Please use this thread to showcase your best images captured during 2009. Just one post per member but you can include up to 5 images if you want.

The thread is for all imagers novices and advanced. Hopefully we will be able to do the same again next year. Over time we will be able to see the progress which is being made by individuals and as a forum.

Please keep details to a minimum - scope and camera possibly along with a few comments.

The thread needs to be packed with images so please don't respond to the postings

Two moon images from 2009.

This image represents my first attempt at a colour saturation moon. This is 32 stacked frames, for improved colour detail. Jan 2009.

I took this full moon shot at 26 minutes into my 21st birthday, through a 6" f/8 Skywatcher Evostar. I'd just been out for a few drinks so I was quite chuffed with the result!
