Moon March 3rd plus Closer ups

Well another one, I think I have managed to get the focus right, got the laptop out in the attempt to get the sharpest focus with live view on the PC.

What I did find is a lot of thermals in the tube or atmospherics. I had to set up the scope out the front due to the position of my house so it was a quick set-up. Fortunately quite neighbourhood and hopefully not too many crooks looking for something to break in.

I managed to take multiple RAW image but I set it to take Large JPEGS as well. This slow the shutter down when taking a stream of image in one hit.

First full capture of the moon ISO200 1/640 secs.

Last two are with the 3 x Barlow better improvement on the last shots but still shows a bit grainy. That will be a work in progress. ISO1600 1/250sec

Enjoy and thanks for looking.
