Moon shot was created by dave_lillis
Seeing that there was a nice high moon lst night, I had a go with it with the toucam, usually something I wouldn't bother with, but the crater cleomedes had a its central peak in the sun while the base of the crater was in darkness, a nice effect.

Dave,

Did you use a barlow with that or just the camera? I was gonna try this evening for a moon shot as well anyway.

Stunning :shock:

coruscations attending the whole length of the luminosity, giving to the phenomena the aspect of a wrathful messenger, and not that of a tranquil body pursuing a harmless course..comet of 1680

thanks for the kind words Lads,
That was with the toucam, without any barlow, the focal length of my SCT is 3000mm, so it gives a high "magnification" naturally, Its at the prime focus, no camera lens nor eyepiece.
