Nice images lads.
I took my old 8" SCT out last night. The seeing was fairly OK with a slight haze. A good bit of detail visible around 200x

Lads, you caught some very nice detail there considering it's not at it's best this time round, thanks for staying up late!

Very nice work lads. Good detail captured.

Interesting the difference in signal between the different filters. Blue is quite bare.

If I may add a suggestion: if ye could reduce the magenta saturation a little on the limb & polar cap and increaee the red saturation a little on the disc, I think it would help a bit.

Out of curiosity, how many frames per second were ye operating at?

Regards,

Michael.
