Quick pic stolen thru gap in cloud

[Takahashi]

Hopefully I'll be getting my focuser back soon, but decided to have possibly the last blast at the Moon with this current (borrowed) Equinox 100ED.

I had just about enough time to work through the usual shutter-speed test sequence before clouds appeared... the first clouds in about a day and a half, and they show up 20 minutes into my session. Still, for a one-shot, JPG save with last-minute live-view assisted focus, it's not too bad.

Thanks Nick. I really didn't expect much in the way of quality or sharpness, but considering the entire sesh (including setup) lasted about half-an-hour, it's OK. Also, it was taken directly over a neighbour's house, so this was the only one of about 20 shots that wasn't swimming like crazy.
