Hi Folks,

Finally got around to taken some images of our nearest neighbour recently...no, not your one in no.57...images of the Moon, of course! ;-)

Anyway, here is a shot of Copernicus with the DMK21 and the 16" SCT.
Image let down by rusty astronomer and poor seeing.

Nice one Michael, how many frames did you stack?
Had a go at the same region Tuesday night with a Philips webcam and SW 127 Mak.
Yeah struggled with poor seeing too.

Very nice Michael,

I was looking at the Moon also. The seeing was so bad the Moon looked like a flag when using the lumenera camera.
