Hi all I set up my Istar at a friends place last night and showed them the moon for the first time , it was a hit and they totally enjoyed them selves , as did I as I love showing people the night sky .
Here a 2 shots taken thru my windows phone hand held up to am 8mm TV radian giving about 120x but it was not quite dark so the contrast aint very good , and the 1st is thru my 22mm panoptic about 45x at full dark , just a crop and post here , zero processing .
It was a good night here last night except the dew started to really hit hard about 9pm and everything got soaked ,,:shrug: oh well .
Hope you all enjoy .
Brian.

nice stuff Brian. I like the close ups better even if they are twilight. I get the same granular effect when using higher powers no matter if it's dark or not with the phone.

I havnt seen a decent sky in a week so it's good to know someone is lol
