Didn't see the "single frame" bit earlier. That's magnificent for one frame.

Graphic evidence of how turbulent things were back when the inner planets were formed.

Too true - captured really well in this pic. Tal 125 + 350D looking to be a solid lunar combo eh? - Good stuff MD 8)

Thanks for the comments.

CC - The posted image was a 1/6 size crop of the full frame as well. Can't beat good seeing conditions!

SR - I'm very happy with the TAL / Canon combination, especially for the moon.

The actual view through the scope at the time I took the shot looked positively 3D.

I look forward to trying the combination on a planet soon.
