Nice one - clearer than my first ever attempt with a 127 at same time tonight using a web cam though.

thanks wilsmaboy, keep going and dont give up. the amount of film i used long before digital cameras came along cost me a fortune. the pic above is heavily edited, to get rid of flare caused by dew on the lens.

No chance of giving up - this is more addictive than drugs n' alcohol

Great detail captured.

Crater Rosse in Mare Nectaris showing up nicely.

Amazing to think this crater is only 7 miles in diameter.
