Moon with a 120mm F8.3 Refractor

[PaulG]

Starting to get some where with the new Nikon D90.

After getting a bit fed up with my first shots with this camera I'm feeling a little better.

I simply wasn't prepared for the difference between 6mp and 12mp.

The D90 is not very tolerant if you don't get the focus bang on, it is so much more difficult to nail the focus.

I'm not a compulsive pixel peeper but viewing the D90 files at 1:1 do not look as pleasing as the D70.

Here is a single prime focus shot from tonight using a 120mm F8.3 Helios Refractor.

That's come out very nice Paul. I'd guess the difference in view of the pixels is down to the pixel density...

this is as sharp as it can get

nice one

Thanks John ~ It could well be the pixel density, I have now been reading up on this subject and it's quite a complex for me to grasp.

Thanks Resonator ~ I'm making progress, just need to improve on the focus.
