Yeah great shot Kevin. Looked great from our apartment balcony, the pair were framed nicely with our Telstra Tower on Black Mountain and even a lit up construction crane (DM would have loved it :rolleyes:) here in Canberra...but my wife took our DSLR with her on a work trip up north...DOH!! :doh:

Nice one Kevin, the old achro certainly holds its own when imaging dimmer objects.

Nice shot Kev. It was a beautiful sight this morning.

Nice catch. :thumbsup: Had a peek this morning but there was a band of clouds out west. :shrug:

Thanks all. Pretty clear here in Mackay for it. Yes the achro did well. The observatory doesn't have a low look angle to the west so the big scope was not an option. I had to walk down the backyard a bit to avoid the trees.

Very nice Kevin. Love the composition with big moon and surrounding star-field. :thumbsup:
