Thanks all

I surprised myself how well this image came out as seeing was ordinary and high cloud passing every few minutes

A definite thumbs up for Televue powermates an excellent accessory for lunar and planetary imaging

I say post more good lunar images as we don’t see to too many on IIS

That's a beautiful photo Martin, well done. I love the smoothness of the image. It looks really natural. :thumbsup:

Thanks Ryan
I took 3 Avi files @ 1200 frames with same ISO but different exposures
This one was the second one 1/500 sec
I’m pretty meticulous with collimation, clean mirrors, focus etc plus using quality Televue optics
Autostakkert did the rest
Cheers
