Hello again,
Here is a shot composed from 600/900 frames at 30fps with the new DBK21 during my shakedown tonight....
For the life of me, I cant find which crater this is on the moon atlas. Someone will hopefully fill me in on its identity.
Lovin' the new toy, hope you like this one.
:)

Hmmm, Les Dalrymple helped me solve this on Facebook, its Copernicus at lower centre with Kepler at 10 o'clock...thanks Les.
:thumbsup:

Nice job mate. As you mentioned in your Saturn thread, seeing was definitely crapolla but you're bound to strike gold sooner or later if you're persistent.

Hi Chris
Great first up run - well done.
What Moon atlas do you have? - could not find Copernicus - sorry I laughed out loud.
You will love the IS camera.

Hey Chris I can see why you're loving the new toy, that looks like a pretty good first run with it. :thumbsup:
Lots of playing to come I bet.

Yup, now I just need some sleep so I dont get sloppy and screw up something in my setup. Thanks John!
Ahhh, yeah Matt, I was trying to ID it this morning at 2:30am or some equally absurd time on a school night, so I was a it fried.... I was using Virtual Moon Atlas but the problem is the shading and the orientation was all wrong on the region.....I DID track it down finally and was about to post a EUREKA moment but Les D on Facebook clued me in before I could correct my DOH moment. So all good in the end, glad I gave you a laugh....:)
Thanks Ken, its a wee ripper this one. I was testing it out on Wed night with the Orion 50mm finderguidescope on the neighbour's foxtel dish which was in complete darkness about 50m away and it is so sensitive, it looked like it was a night vision camera...not happy with the 2 dead pixels already visible, but I may call Bintel if any more appear and get it swapped over when they get new stock in as I bought their last one. I picked up some other goodies, like a Bahtinov mask, a CLS EOS clip, a small counterweight and a Kendrick dew heater and 50mm strip for the guidescope, so I am chuffed with my shopping trip and the results so far.
Cheers
Chris
