Hi Guys,

It's been a while since I have posted on IIS, partly due to the fact that I was between cameras. Anyway, I bought myself a Pentax K20D and on the first night I took it out pointed it towards ole'faithful, the Moon.

Pic 1 is the Moon at 85% with the camera attached to the SW ED80 and set at 1/90 sec and ISO200. This has also been cropped fairly significantly as well, and as I was not using any filters I also reduced the exposure in PS.

Pic 2 is the Moon at approx 100%, again I was using the SWED80 and 1/180 sec and ISO100.

pic 1 looks very very sharp... I like it alot..

What is the focal length of the ED80? somewhere around 600mm is it not?

Nice work, always good to be back in the saddle.

Hi,

Yep it does have a 600mm focal length.

I only wish that I could improve the alignment of my mount, then I could try some other targets as well. Oh well, at least I am able to focus the camera now :lol:.

Regards

Daniel...

I love the first one, very sharp and great contrast.

Well done. :thumbsup:
