Here is a shot of the full moon with I think the Neper crater ( bottom left) looking like the moon is puckering up for a kiss ( with a bit of imagination!)
I was actually trying to get my guidescope/webcam/PHD to work. Got sick of PHD telling me RA cal failed. I think I have found the prob- see Mario's recent post-.
So da moon was starting to take prominence and decided to do some shots. Not really trying..... as you can see, twas a bit unfocused. I also tried my HA filter on the moon, and this is the result.
In PE8 I converted it to BW (portrait) and adjusted contrast etc.
However I have a lot of artifacts around the moon. Is / was the possibly due to dew? or not focused or over exposed?
Any Hints/Tips?
