Moon shot tonight after McNaught

[RB]

Since I had the gear out after getting only one shot at McNaught :rolleyes:, I thought I may as well take a shot of the moon too.

This is a single frame thru the TOA and the 20Da.

Nice, but you get that with Tak. What did McNaught come out like. I have been trying as well, but the moon is giving me grief, along with cloud.

Wow, very sharp and 3D looking. Nice shot Andrew.

I put it in the Observational Astro thread for McNaught (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=16333) and here's the attached image.

Seemed to be ok even with the moon out, but I wish I had more time to get a few more shots in.
As I said in the other post this was my only good shot before it disapeared behind the trees, it was also my test shot so I didn't frame it the way I wanted.

Might give it another go.

Cheers.

Looks good RB. I am leaning towards just using the Tak for this object, at least until the moon vacates. My Canon Lens shots were greatly (as you would expect) affected by the moon.

Thats a nice Lunar, RB, nice colour gradiant, and sharp too.

Good one. :thumbsup:

Your shot is still nice Gary, but I'd love to see your shots thru the Tak !

Thank you John, I was worried the 20Da might render the colour too rich, but it's not too bad.
