Luna at 99.39%

Picked up an upgrade to my 6" Evo in the form of the 8" SCT OTA. First light was yesterday, so I went for the most obvious object in the night sky :)

Very nice. How did you get the entire moon within a single frame? With APS-C sensor it would have been cropped?

cheers,

That's really nice. I'm hoping to be able to achieve something similiar soon.
Well done!

Thanks. :) When I hooked up the SCT as a prime lens to my D7100, the whole of the moon fit in the frame - I was just as surprised as you are.

That's really beautiful. I love the moon. That's a wonderful shot.
