Here's a shot of the moon at 0543 1st July (low res), waning crescent. It's a bit noisy as I had to push it to 800 ISO to achieve a fast enough shutter speed to stop the movement and still expose for the dark side of the moon. When I get an EQ6 I can shoot at 100 ISO and program the mount to track for 6 or 7 seconds??? The spots to the left are not hot pixels it's background stars. Still needs some processing to reduce the noise. Been after this shot for a while, always seems to be cloudy at the wrong time.
