Although not really designed with lunar imaging in mind, I decided to check out what sort of results I could get out of the QHY12. This is a 1 millisecond exposure taken using both 90% and 60% lunar filters. No post-processing.

Looks good Brett, may be a little soft on focus?
What scope?

Hi Dave,

I agree that the focus is a bit off -- the atmospheric conditions last night were somewhat unforgiving. The scope used is a Skywatcher Black Diamond ED120 refractor.

Cheers,
Brett
