Moon shots

First images using my Explore Scientific 80mm and Canon 1000D. Bracketing the focus, keeping the sharpest images.

The thing that pleases me the most, is that there is no discernible chromatic aberration, that I can see - except when observing, and there is a slight yellow fringe around the perimeter of the moon. Stars however, show no false colour. Not sure how an experienced eye might view it.

Tried to stack and darken the first image to see more features, but I'm not sure about the result. The second was a passing shot - hey! there's the moon 'click.' These two are the only images that came anywhere near focus - I've discovered that it is none too easy by eye.
