Hi all

Seeing was great last night, but unfortunately it was also cloudy. Here is the first of a couple of images I managed to grab when the clouds cleared for a few minutes.

Cheers

Hello Nick,

It is absolutly great shot. It is very sharp and so nice ! I think the colimation of your C14 is very good.

Oh Toby, Nick use a C14 and Lumenera camera !

That is incredible detail. I hope you are able to pass on some of your tricks of the trade at the Bedford workshop.

Superb detail in the walls especially there Nick.

Superbly Imaged in spite of the sun's fairly high position in the lunar sky, judging by the shadows in the craters.The details are always clearly defined in your work Nick.

I'll need to see about a Knighthood for you I think:D

Delightfull, and a fanastic image Nick.

Excellent image Nick.

Is this imaged from the Canaries?

If so, I assume you keep the scope out there as it's a tad too big to be 'airline portable'

Cheers

how many panes did you stack?

It varies with multi-point alignment in R5, but somewhere around 100 per alignment point.

I will reveal everything! If you bring a laptop with Registax 5 on, I will have some sample files you can use.

This one is from Oxford Rob. In fact the seeing was probably better than anything I got in La Palma. The main benefit of the La Palma site is that, at certain times of year, it is virtually guaranteed to be clear. It's amazing how much you can get done given a week of clear skies!

Cheers

That is outstanding with Pico so clear and the tiny crater pitting. Very natural processing.
