It's not that bad is it?

[Caz]

No... its 8) James...

I'm trying to decide which is the better out of the 3 you have taken.... :scratch:

Mmmmmmmm after looking at them on my PC id deff say the 5" Frac one is best the details seem to stand out more and it's nice and crisp, the worrying thing is that 70mm pic is so close to the ED80 :shock:

Thanks

James

I would agree the 5" has the edge, don't know whether its a good thing that the 70mm, nearly but not quite, equals the more expensive ED80.... :?

In fairness to the ED80 this was just the Moon had it of being say Saturn the results would of been differant(I hope), but for a prime focus shot with the Canon theres not too much differance with Luna(Which did suprise me). I will do the same with Saturn when it makes an apperance

Seriosuly that a nice moon mate, I can only dream of taking something like that (Though I don't think I'm too far off!)
