Some nice lunar scapes – Brisbane 15th March 2014

Here are a few lunar scenes taken last night, just before the next day's full moon. All taken at the prime focus (2160mm) of the Tak Mewlon 180 F12 with the ZWO ASI120MM CCD camera.

The seeing was okay at 2160mm but when I added the Tak x1.6 extender, to push the efl out to 3456mm, the image quality would not hold up, so I reverted back to prime focus.

The (last) image of Plato was taken with the Tak x1.6 extender and the image quality has suffered at this longer fl.

Cheers

Dennis
