its the first imaging i have done since astrofest 2019 with clouds, fire, smoke and rain and just plain tiredness. using a Williams Optics 132 refractor and a ASi 183mc and a whole bunch of new stuff to focus and capture from ZWO (i have a ASI focuser on the 132), the learning curve was very steep.

so to mark the change of daylight saving time, the last day I give you my Luny Luna. i am so happy to be imaging...... despite the result

Blind, dumb and uncoordinated, it was a flea circus getting it sort of focused. And processing was a distant memory, I had to remember what to do.

Very nice Dave, that is a ripper of an image, love the detail and overall tonality.:)

Good to see your mojo has returned, with a bang.;)

Cheers

My first thoughts were "yawn...what?...another tepid moon shot? "

Then I clicked on the link.

To quote one A. Powers...."Yeah Baby!" :cool:

A most excellent lunar image :thumbsup::thumbsup:
