Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me,
but what a way to go.

:lol: You had me for a second there Dave :lol:
thanks for the kind comments lads.
I'm surprised it came out the way it did, especially as I tried to get saturn which turned out pretty bad, the seeing was all over the place.
This is probabily the first time I used the F6.3 focal reducer with the canon, I had to orientate the camera to get the entire moon in, it barely fit with only a few arcminutes to spare, much closer then the image above suggests, I had to enlarge the canvas in photoshop and put in black areas to give me the final angle I wanted.
Getting a good natural image is my no.1 aim when taking a picture, I'm not really out to discover the meaning of life with these pictures. :lol:

I went back and had a re-look at the image to try and not have the right hand side so washed out (more 2am-itis :lol: )
The max j[eg size was 250k, so I had to reduce the quality abit to get it around 100k, so its abit grainer then the orig, which is very smooth.
