Hello all.
Just starting in the dangerous world of astro-photography after many many years of photos of land based objects!
The Minister of Finance (who fortunately shares the Astronomy passion), was an amazing woman who presented me with a HEQ5-Pro and a Skywatcher Black Diamond ED80 for a combined Christmas/Birthday present.
Due to the combination of recent weather and travel patterns, there has been a limited number of nights when I have been able to get it all out.
As such, the first reasonable night allowed me to get out and have a crack at a moon shot last Friday, and I managed to squeeze this one before it clouded over just a bit too much.
Camera is an unmodified Canon 40D, taken through the ED80 with a Televue 2" 4x Powermate. That combination has given me a few other questions for another part of the forum, namely couldn't get focus unless I scrapped the Televue T-Ring direct adaptor, and used the right angle.
Let me know what you think
