12 megapixel moon with 450D

Hi
Used the Live View on the 450D to get precise focus on the moon, prime focus with 10 inch f5.6 newtonian and Baader MPCC coma corrector. 4 shots @ISO100 stacked and processed in PS, as Registax wont handle 12 MP images.

here is the result

The actual image is a little less than 12 MP as the scope had moved slightly between each shot, but represents the full resolution the 14 bit sensor can do. The moon was rather low in the north too. Cant wait to see what it can do with it right overhead in good seeing.
