It's been so long since I've done any lunar imaging, I felt the need tonight... especially after having frustrated myself on Saturn:rolleyes:...

Even though the seeing was pretty average, and high cloud slid through while capturing most of the avis, it was good to get back doing something that I have a bit of success with!:lol:

All images captured with the trusty ToUcam through my C8. Some are at f/10 and some are at something longer than f/30 (3x barlow/star diagonal/camera).

Targets are:
Copernicus and Eratosthenes
Rupes Recta, Arzachel, Alphonsus, etc
Rupes Recta
Copernicus
Plato
Eratosthenes

Some good results there Al, but you can tell the seeing let you down too.. Perhaps focus was off just a tad as well.

I haven't bothered with the moon until after full, atm.. it's just too low in the north.

Yeah Mike. Getting focus with the 3x barlow under the conditions wasn't easy -even with the Motofocus. It could be off a tad as well.
