Little Tak - first moonlight (photographically)

A 53.3% Moon tonight.

I finally got to point the little FS60-C at the Moon with the D40 on the end of it. Focus is a real bugger at this scale. I need to magnify the image, and that's difficult with a Tak because if its incompatability with the barlows I have. Anyway - didn't turn out too bad for a quick point 'n shoot. Definitely no CA at all - which is luvverly.

Nikon D40, 1/400th sec, ISO400, Takahashi FS60-C with flattener at f/6.9

Shot 1) Single frame

Shot 2) 5 frames mean-stacked in CS3 as SmartObject and colour toned down

Shot 3) Interesting as colour negative
