First Lunar Spectroheliograph image?

J Paladin has just successfully applied his small SHG to the imaging of the Moon in narrowband sodium wavelength.
The image required 1sec exposures per frame.
I think this may be the first amateur lunar image recorded using the SHG!
A fantastic effort which shows the potential (with larger telescopes) of the SHG scanning techniques on brighter astronomical objects.
Congratulations, Well done!
Onwards and Upwards
(EDIT) the guys on the Astronomical Spectroscopy forum have corrected me! There have been various successful spectrographic scans of planets and nebula over the past few years....
