Hi thx for the reply.

I used the afocal method both times ( and for all my Moon images ).

If I remember correctly the eyepieces were different but the scope was the same 4.5 inch Newt, that I have used for my imaging.
I usually use an 18mm ED eyepiece but I may have also used a 20mm.
The difference in size is due to the different eyepieces and not the Earth-Moon distance.

Cheers.
