Thanks for the nice comments guys. Here are some of the capture details.
I had the Minolta DiMage (28-200mm) and the Pentax *istDS (80-200mm) fitted on a homemade accessory plate mounted on my Vixen GPDX mount. The mount was rough polar aligned using a compass and the altitude scale on the mount. Exposures ranged from 15 to 30 secs, mostly at 200ASA to limit the effects of the light dome of Brisbane.
I tried to stack a couple, but the movement of the Moon between frames (approx 1 1/2 mins.) prevented it. It seems every 2nd image had an airplane going through it!
Cheers
Dennis
PS – Soooooo much easier that DSO’s and Jupiter – I’ve found my niche in astronomy!
