Since you come to this area (Sth. Coast NSW), look up 'Big Bit' lookout just north of Benanderah. 360 view and no light pollution.
Don't give away secrets Peter, I have been eyeing off that spot as a possible observing location, as I sometimes go surfing down at North Durras. So combining a few days of surf with a few nights stargazing at Big Bit would be ideal. Maybe get together up there sometime ?
Back to topic.The moon images are very nice, focus looks good, with the terminator in a position that highlights lots of prominent features. Now all you have to do is get images at every possible phase then do them again because the seeing wasn't quite good enough last time or the focus was a little soft etc. etc. add infinitum.
Welcome to the world of imaging, it is great fun ( sometimes )
