58% Moon - First Lunar Light for TMB/Lomo refractor.

This is a pretty extreme crop out of the full sized image.. With a short focal length of only 480mm, the moon appears fairly small in a DSLR image!

Taken with:
TMB/LOMO 80mm F/6 triplet on HEQ5 Pro
Nikon D200.

Single frame, ISO200, 1/250th.

Had a quick fiddle in PS CS4 Camera RAW.. tweaked exposure, vibrance and a bit of a saturation boost... Cropped it and posted it..

I am VERY pleased once again with the optics in this scope, even with brightness cranked right up and saturation boosted heaps there was not even a hint of blue/violet fringing on the moon.. Yes, this is to be expected from a TMB APO.. However for me, this is a new experience and I found it worth mentioning!

Cheers for looking.
Alex.
