Mick,

C9.25 , mono, F25

at this altitude hard to get crisp image... even though seeing was not too bad

Funnily enough, i was thinking of having a bash at the moon myself last night but didnt bother as it was dropping behind a row of house out of the back of me.

It puts me off a bit when its as low as it is due to the fact you know you'll never capture it as good as you can when its higher up.

Did you use any filters to help keep the image sharp and capture as much detail as you have?

[resonator77]

Mick,

no filters just powermate. Concur with what you said, that is why I use every minute chance to grab some avi's of what ever planet available at the time , silly I know, better something to play with than nothing at all

"that is why I use every minute chance to grab some avi's of what ever planet available at the time :D"

Im usually the same, but when i take into consideration the amount of setup time, time before the moon disappears, and the fact i have an 11stone American Bulldog flying about the house like a Nuclear bomb on legs wanting his 1 to 2 hours walk, i sometimes think the easiest route is to give in to my dog!
