My first lunar images

[LewisM]

Seeing the Moon was ripe the other night, killing any chance of DSO work, I decided to heck with it and tried my first ever Lunar imaging.

Setup was FAR from ideal - OSC CCD at prime focus. Exposures were 0.002 seconds each. Stacked about 120 of them in Registax, and am fairly pleased with the results, though my focus could be sharper :) Still, not too bad considering it is prime, not afocal :) :)

Saturn next, though at prime, not going to look much chop :)

Good shot for a first and at prime focus.

I bet it won't be your last lunar image!

Cheers,

That's fantastic for a first shot.

Once you take one you will not be able to stop taking more!

That's very nice. Beg borrow or steal a Barlow for Saturn :thumbsup:
