Moon from 23 Apr 2010

[TheThing]

Really getting to grips with the LPi on the moon now. Out for a couple of hours last night just imaging it (time went so quickly!)

The following are a selection. Soligor 6" Newt on a Tal pier with a Meade LPi. Between 100 and 500 frames stacked automatically by Autosuite: -

Copernicus - Very pleased with this one as it's the first time I have successfully used a Barlow whilst imaging - Tal x2.

Focusing is much easier now I've set up an EP with a parfocal ring and also re-collimated with a laser collimator. Funny how the little things can make the job easier and the outcome so much more pleasing!

Focusing and collimation, essential for excellent images, and you've got both just right. Well done.

Thanks Colin.

It's great when it all comes together!
