wow!!!! after heavy cloud and rain got around 35 to 40 mins near cloud free,right when shadow at its max i cant complain with that.
raced down and opened the pod using my 35 pan and 17 nag at 87x and 179x both with filters.the 35 fits nicely in the fov and it was a clear chrisp sight with nice curviture of the shadow and a slight hint of red (very faint)and the 17 nag i was scrolling along the shadow seeing the mares and craters from a different angle as seen with terminator.
one nice feature was as changing eyepieces the shadow coming out of the diagonal was reflecting on the back of the pod and showing the curved line amazing.
after a terrible day ended up beeing a great evening just goes to show stick with it and the evening may become fantastic.
some great pictures coming through may have to get into this imaging
