[TheThing]

Some passing cloud last night, which caused a few pauses, but lovely and clear in between.

First shot is 6 panes at 75x stitched in ICE.

2nd is an experiment of 2 panes at 75x, to see how much I can fit in a frame. Answer, about half the moon!

3rd is another 6 panes, taken with an AE 1.6x adapter, giving approx 120x

Finally, 7 panes taken with a 4x ImageMate at approx 300x. Focus is still troubling me, but practice, practice, practice!

All taken thru a 6" Newt, f5 with Orion SSS-II webcam.

It's going well... some good detail in those... Focus is awkward but well worth getting it spot on. Are you able to magnify the image on screen at all ? I find that really helps.
