The moon Dec 1st

Like John got cold turkey so had to do some images.
CG11 f/10 Skynyx2-0. Seeing prevented any higher resolution.

Hi Dave

First pic is of plato and lunar alps region
second is copernicus

Dave,

Nice photos in both instances. Both targets are not exactly easy.

thanks folks

Anthony, I just picked the area because it looked nice and I was afraid I'd forget where abouts my observatory was if I didnt get out and image something!! I was quite surprised with the detail considering the conditions.

Really nice Dave - sharp and full of life, almost like being there.

Total cost of the equipment I used is about €450. Just confirms the old adage "You get what you pay for", especially in astrophotography. It was quite windy so I lost about 80% of my frames due to vibration (bit of an understatement), add to that not so precise tracking, and less than perfect optics, and a webcam that costs less than €80.
