Heres the very first image taken with my William Optics Megrez 102.

Caught with a 350D, 1/2000th shutter, Minimal processing in CS2. Cropped and compressed to fit on forums, this is a 100% crop of the full image.

I tell you what... William Optics focusers are an absolute DREAM to use. So very smooth! (comparing to my Synta crayford however :D )

Thanks for looking.

Great first light of the moon Alex, it was all rain and strong wind here last night. You're right about the WO focusers, a joy to use ay ... very smooth ... when you start getting into high magnification, they're very precise on the fine tuning as well ! Very happy with mine !

:thumbsup:

Fabulous detail Alex. Hard to maintain with the nearly full moon and so much light.

Not quite Michael, but I did do a fairly serious upgrade to my gear...

I dont believe in the old "make do with what you've got".. I prefer "get what you need to do the job right."

Jeez Louise!!!

What a corker! Most detail I have ever seen on La Luna.

I think the gear is starting to catch up with your skills Alex, for a first light shot that would blow my mind if I could get detail like that.

Phenomenal and no emoticons required!

Chris.
