Moon

After imaging the pencil nebula I thought I would check my focus with a shot of the moon.

1 by 10ms frame, debayered, no processing, no flats or darks.

Looks in focus Paul

I might have a go when the Moon is down to a sliver...

Thanks Peter, I am reasonably happy with the EAF focuser and ASIAir pro. It takes about a minute to get a good focus. The EAF has about 130 steps of backlash, but this does not seem to affect the software (you can enter the backlash as a parameter).

I am looking forward to the planetary season as I have an EAF on my Edge 9.25.

I didn't realise you had an Esprit 150. With the longer focal length you could get some great shots of the moon.
